I have a general dislike of "lifelike" bronze statuary. I am so tired of bronze children playing in fountains, bronze horses, bronze people on park benches, bronze wildlife, bronze memorials, you name it, someone has made (and displayed) it. Most of these works are not at all clever, though there are (rare) occasions when I like one of these "artistic statements". I live near South Shore Towne Center and I like the little bullfrog under the roof drain scupper. A note to maintenance: the scupper has garbage behind the wire mesh now (this picture is a few months old).However, I was recently walking to Panera in the morning for a latte - a warm summer morning, but not hot. A little girl walked up to this deer (one of two in the shopping center, both are kid magnets) and reached out to pet the deer. She said, "OW, mommy, HOT!" Aesthetics aside, as a designer, I will forevermore think twice before putting a metal kid-magnet in any position where it could get hot and potentially hurt someone. Luckily, the other deer is in a spot where this is far less likely to be a problem.Talk about dangerous; I don't need to explain all the many reasons I think the frog fountain is a failure, do I?Food for thought in public spaces....and private ones!
