[edit] Current Work
Since 2005, the new body of work by Richard Humann has concentrated on sculptural creations of small scale, static amusement rides combined with historical execution devices. The work merges the dichotomous elements of public spectacle and private experience, mechanizedregalement and organized punishment—and the thick gray line between right and wrong. New pieces include the Bumper Cars, Octopus, Airplane, Teacup,Ferris Wheel, Wave Swinger and Tilt-A-Whirl. All work is handcrafted in bass wood in reduced scale and displayed as dioramas. These works are featured in American Craft magazine (2007).
