Brendan Murphy. The sitting spaceman. 2024. Beachwood Ohio.

 "Hey Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along for a ride"

There are five sculptures on a medical center campus of a hospital system. Eleven more are expected. This one is carbon fiber with a topping of shiny chrome. It is to be remembered that the order of cosmonauts, and astronauts was: dog, chimp, man. The artist has made several spaceman sculptures, and the marker scribbles are his.

For centuries Merino sheep were a Spanish monopoly. Their wool is very fine and soft, and much prised. Currently on Simon Perkins farm in Akron there are seven pregnant ewes. Now on a completely different matter. When you have more than one ewe, you have ewes. There is no place for ya'll.
