He really captures the innocence of childhood without being all ironic or quirky/"whimsical" about it. The best one in Indy was a sculpture called, I think, "Mad Mom" of a frowning woman with her hands on her hips. They put it in front of the statehouse, which I think was appropriate. :-P I discovered Otterness when he did a multi-piece installation in downtown Indianapolis a few years ago, and I fell in love with him.
