Bulls try to unseat unwelcome riders at Rodeos.   Matadors taunt these giants to the point of rage and then orchestrate their killing under the guise of sport. I find it all disconcerting.

I sculpted this charging bull with s small red bird riding on its back.   I have had the opportunity to visit Tanzania a few times. There I witnessed birds hitching a taxi ride on the backs of lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos and all manner of four legged creatures.   Someone told me that the birds were looking for their next meal of insects.

To me the bull and its rider is an image of a this-worldly peaceable world … rather than of Wall Street or misplaced sport.
