A two-part sculpture about daily life made for facing walls in the artist's living room. It's made out of to-do lists, lottery tickets, and written-down dreams. We try to give shape to our lives, which are often opposing elements of what we have to do (our lists) and what we dream of. In this sculpture, the two become one.

The 44 page, full color book, Wild Life: A Public Art Project, is available at Lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com/content/1246085).
Here is an excerpt from one of the book's essays, “Leslie Fry's Wild Life,” by Dr. Nick Capasso, Curator, DeCordova Museum & Sculpture Park:
“Wild Life thus acts as a vehicle for a multi-sensory awareness of place and nature. Through artifice, nature is found. The placement [of the sculptures] also intensifies their liminality. They live at the edge - of the wilderness, and of our perception, as if seen in the corner of the eye. Such slippage in and out of awareness is a profound metaphor for the dream world - the mental land where myths are born.”
