Some images of the Judith Peck sculptures on exhibit in the Downtown Stamford outdoor sculpture exhibit

Readers have asked to see pictures of some of my sculptures in the Downtown Stamford sculpture exhibition.

This is "Young Marrieds" which depicts a couple in nightclothes set to slide precariously down a double slide. The sculpture may be too alluring to young children who might be tempted to climb up and help the young couple before their plummet.

This is "Appalachia," a life size composition of a family by their dwelling. The family seems reconciled and hopeful admidst their extreme poverty; I have made the dog, by his tension, metaphorically display the urgency and desperation of their situation.

Six Judith Peck large outdoor sculptures on display in Stamford now through August

"Out of the mainstream and into the streets" was the phrase used by a previous New York Times article to introduce the Downtown Stamford Art in Public Places Sculpture Exhibit. This year's title, with the exhibit now in its 18th year, is titled "Wit and Whimsy." The 7 Judith Peck sculptures chosen by curator Eileen Heckerling for this show (39 in all) certainly seem to come under that unbrella. One Peck sculpture, "Young Marrieds," depicting two life size figures in nightclothes about to slide together down a double slide might have proven too appealingly whimsical to young children lured to join the preacriously couple in their free fall, so it was removed.
Try to get to Stamford, Connecticut and drive around the downtown streets to see the Peck sculptures and others by 12 sculptors on display now through August.
