  • This drawing was used as a proposal for the sculpture at the U.S. Courthouse in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The ensemble of diminutive characters that form Tom Otterness' beguiling Rockman enact an allegorical social drama. The construction of the colossus evokes Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan, a treatise which explores how governing bodies are formed to safeguard against social chaos.
