Sarasota News Leader November 16, 2012 The addition of a fantastic band and a great singer also helps to make this event so mem- orable. I have started walking around the area and am entranced by a piece that seems to be a head split in half with a full-size baby, smiling peacefully, squeezed between the two halves of the head. I cannot imagine the final sculp- ture or its title. A few feet away is a piece with an old car; in front of it is a gas tank emblazoned with a Texaco star and the number "10,000." Moving on, I see a hand surrounding a beau- tifully rendered old-fashioned clock, which I have named, The Hand of Time. Everyone wants to have his or her picture taken next to the Happy Holidays Snowman Page 78 — wishful thinking, guys, if you want to see the real thing in Southwest Florida. We're on Siesta Key! Some of the sculptures are still a mystery, and it is fun to listen to the visitors trying to guess the themes. Two artists from The Netherlands are creating a very emotional piece, whose title will also not be revealed until Sunday. I notice that today the two-sided disc has be- come two sides of a coin — the male and the female versions. Quotes from each sex about the other are etched into the sculpture, which the audience is really enjoying. But the most commonly heard remark is, "The detail is amazing."
