I’m developing my work with Larry and Andy and his friends as they still have a lot to say! I’ve been particularly mindful of Larry this week as the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2021 is in full swing and Larry was on those very same walls in 2019.
Larry has seen a lot of life and come to the conclusion that being able to find simplicity from complexity is the way to go, the way to be. Grandma made Larry a very long time ago. He is a Welsh-speaking lamb, strong and steady despite his slightly worn appearance. He doesn’t follow the flock and has a mind of his own.
Like some of his friends, Larry was inspired by Benjamin Hoff's book The Tao of Pooh. In this book, Pooh is described as the "uncarved block,'' a bear in tune with his natural inner self. Like Pooh, Larry is now able to experience living without complexity. Larry spends time with Andy and his friends who all have a story to tell.
Larry is keen to tell me more of his stories so….watch this space.
