Losing My Mind
Have you ever wanted to just take your head off and hurl it over the edge of a rooftop? Well, artist Nina Levy thought of doing just that.
One of my favorite "quirky" places to visit is the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA. Levy's sculpture, called "Headlong" is quite imposing at 7 feet tall. Levy challenges us to ask whether "certain additions or subtractions to the human body might make metaphorical, or even practical, sense."
I love this sculpture because sometimes I just need to laugh at what I go through. If I could, I would have this piece sitting on my front lawn.

She looks quite happy....
I haven't seen this piece before, thanks for sharing.
Maybe she looks happy because she knows in just a few short seconds she'll have the relief of a lifetime.
Even if I could take mine off I wouldn't cause I'd be sure to lose it.

Well, I can say for certain that my head has been taken off my body many many times. Luckily I do end up finding it. But, yes Austin, it sometimes takes a long time!
