Thanks, Holly! This is the best picture showing most of the whole thing from right after it was assembled in 2012. I had some help from my handyman Darrell on securing pieces but I collected all the driftwood, designed and decorated it myself. That is the house next door, not mine, in the background. Most of the pieces have fallen off the bat wind chime since then. If you look closely at my Halloween window display, the arms and hands were used for pumpkin head guy. The mummy also came off and needs touching up, so I took it in and it also appears in the window display.
I didn't completely realize until I looked after assembling it, but the lower parts of the sculpture reveal Ray's roots--literary influences, with Charles Dickens characters, images from his trip to Mexico, and
The Wizard of Oz, then moves up to Ray as a child surrounded by his own literary creations, topped with the Halloween tree! I think it's pretty awesome but have plans to make it even moreso.
