More about Ben Receiving

Thanks to Roberta for the post on Ben artblog. I made my Ben during the Bicentennial celebration in part because of the commercialization of the event. Ben Franklin was a boyhood hero of mine after reading a biography of his life. He of all the American heros seemed to embody all of the creative interests that I had. I was also very disappointed by the Kite sculpture of Ben created by Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988).
