Adam Parker Smith, Bold As Love, 2007, felt, pins, wood This piece inspired by an execution scene in Ernest Hemingway’s, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” was created in collaboration with seven high school students. This collaboration was made possible through the Blue Sky Project which paired McHenry County teens with my project in an eight week residency program while providing space and materials. These heads on wooden pikes constructed from felt and pins form a landscape of imagined creatures, self portraits, individuals the teens and I are personally involved with and American icons including Mike Tyson, Anna Nicole Smith, and John F. Kennedy.
