Takou Translation: Great happiness, Cavernous Green Utah Alabaster with red and sienna stripes On a Black granite Base 8" w x 7" d x 20" t Base: 8" x 10" Takou is one of the Exuberant Series of Sculptures. Takou always seemed to me to be a jokester, but not in a bad way. Takou has two sides the red and the green. The red side is like humor in that it enlivens a side of his personality and also lightens up his serious side. The wide openings in the stone are the results of the mirth that he is relating. About the Exuberant Series The Exuberant Series, as the name implies, is about happiness. These sculptures, when they were being carved and ever after, always lighten my heart. They are always cheerful or playful.
