Tom Friedman: LOOKING UP.
On the grounds of Laguna Gloria is this wonderfully optimistic statue. Be it a partly cloudy day or star filled night, this person reminds us of the amazement of taking time to look and really see our greater environment.
Slow down to really see what is around you. You might just be astonished at what you see.
what's going to become of us.

"Tom Friedman (Easthampton, MA) makes extraordinary works that explore perception, logic, and possibility. His painstakingly rendered sculptures and works on paper inhabit the grey area between the ordinary and the monstrous, the infinitesimal and the infinite, the rational and the uncanny. His work is often deceptive, its handmade intricacy masked by a seemingly mass-produced or prefabricated appearance. Friedman is represented by Luhring Augustine, New York, NY. tomfriedmanartist.com"

'Looking Up,' by Tom Friedman was on view until at Park Avenue & East 53rd Street in New York City until the end of July, 2016.
American artist Tom Friedman is notorious for using objects from everyday life in his work. Among the most unusual are toothpicks, chewing-gum, paper cups, and plastic straws; cooked and dried spaghetti, as well as hair -- to name just a few.
Tom Friedman also often plays with scale, creating at times tiny works of art or extremely imposing ones. This monumental sculpture was yet another example of these two aspects of his work: the play on scale, and the use of everyday life objects.
'Looking Up' is a 32" high human-like figure entirely wrapped in aluminum foil -- you know, the stuff found in your kitchen drawers.
A big New York City "no-no", this disproportionate and at times unsettling human figure invited onlookers to direct their gazes skyward and the imposing New York buildings, in turn, inevitably influenced how the sculpture was itself perceived.
'Looking Up' was an invitation to grow from the inside, change perspective, and look up to the point of nearly falling backwards. This created a sense of marvel and also induced a sensation of vertigo.

Looking up, a 10-foot tall stainless steel sculpture by American artist Tom Friedman, depicts a quasi-human figure gazing up to the heavens. Created from the use of crushed aluminum foil pans through a process of molding and lost wax casting, the sculpture retains the imprint of the original materials. The magnificent 10-foot tall piece, full of awe and wonder, is a perfect example of Friedman’s interest in the supernatural and experiential.

respect" ....and occasionally you learn something too!

"The CTA partnered with University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) alumnus and world-renowned artist Tom Friedman for an art installation added to the UIC-Halsted station in July 2024. The sculpture, known as Takeaway, depicts Hermes, the Messenger of Greek Mythology, in a running pose balancing a stack of restaurant carry-out boxes on his head---a nod to modern living."
