Shoes with personality

I'll never look at my shoes the same way again!!!
My disovery of the day - Gwen Murthy's art:

“Since I was a very young child I have looked at shoes and found them looking back at me, each pair with its particular personality and facial expression. Mouths yawning open, they sometimes look sleepy, grouchy, or fierce.” ~ Gwen Murphy

Murphy’s sculpture Foot Fetish series began in 2005. Since then, she has made close to 60 pairs of shoe sculptures, using only shoes that were second-hand, cast-offs, or found on roadside."



(The left one looks like me when I'm alert, and the right one is me in the morning between 7 and 11 am, haha. Really, these shoes are my phsychological portrait! )
