Fabulist!

I was in thinkspace a month or so ago, and asked the owner who had done this great sculpture that was mounted in the corner. There was no plaque by the piece, and the gallery owner said "I don't know. The guy came in today and showed me this piece out of the back of his truck. All I know is his name is Derek."

The owner was so enamored with the art that he put it on display for an opening that very night. The piece itself was large, nearly 3 feet tall-- and looking through his gallery, it seems all of Derek's pieces are sizable sculptures of men with tired eyes, occasionally set against the shanty town of which they seem to all belong. (Aside from digging his sculptures, I also have a fondness for his titles: "Illuminating the Lonely Road of Forever" and "Signs of the Soon and Obvious Truth.")
