Having Fun at Oberlin May, 2004
What's so terrible about fun?
People seem to be afraid of fun.
It's practically banned in public.
I had fun making sculptures having fun
then attached them to places in Oberlin.
I started with a bunch of wire figures having fun...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrX4eitqYWJFEufndJl5kD9hbnYbelmecjZB8GKOt_fkJttNEbNoH5V6eWPeAxMK2al6LFXTmpLIwdYrcdgym1khCu3NlrRx02JfgAM5o6cGSVJE1Uisixt39yZ25bnU52arjd95UOM4/s320/118_1850_2.JPG)
gave them bodies with paper clay...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE7UgOLREm3_qqL4KknWYwQItVjIVOsEywI68ub1VgL1Sn8F0iHvSK88RvAdslvShl0PQcSuE1YW-G4AJrQSebLYz2fhU5tz4lMmKN_e6xk7ZiahyphenhyphenkE8Cev7qY9pwaX5yWOikdS_fMllA/s320/124_2496.JPG)

and a some color...
When they were done I walked around with my friend Page and stuck the little peoples where they would most enjoy themselves.
I gave this guy to the Oberlin pre-school and the kids named him Pappy Johnson.
