Mattick's Farm


We've been looking at sculpture this week and here's another one. The figure above, however, was not a part of Sculpture Splash but is perched above the entrance to the restaurant he developed on his farm near Cordova Bay. The restaurant is now a part of the Cordova Bay Golf Club complex and is a great place to eat whether you golf or not.

I can see that being a bit unnerving if you're not expecting to see the sculpture.

Is that a hook for a hand?

I was going to ask about the hand too. And it looks like a gun next to him too, with hanging broccoli? Very unusual vignette.

Thanks all for your comments.
@Mike - Yes, apparently he lost a hand somehow
@JoJo - yes that is a gun and you're right it is a rather surreal tableau, but I gather he was an odd character in real life, too.
