Howard Lerner's rocket baby assemblage

Found object sculptor Howard Lerner created this strange and wonderful assemblage, titled "Adam Rocket." Howard says that it's "about our celestial 'beginnings.'" Lerner's approach is to use "common remnants of our civilization to create human size constructions using a Biblical narrative." Amazing work. Howard Lerner Art

  This reminds me very much of Epstein’s rock drill sculpture of 1913.

  For Jor-El so loved the Earth that he gave his only begotten son.

    i’m so glad that Jor-El included a pair of snowshoes with the contraption
    very handy if one needs to walk to the fortress of solitude….
