Leo is one of two main characters in the play 4000 Miles by Amy Herzog. He has completed a 4000 mile bike ride from Seattle to NY and lands on his grandmother's door stoop at 3 am. I used bike parts for hair & eyes.Leo's beard is made of copper mesh sandwiched between the glass layers. He is also into rock climbing so I used a climbing carabiner for an earring and attached a key (keys have a role in the play) and a Seattle Mariner's key chain.
French cleats are attached at the back to accommodate safe hanging on the wall. He is on display and available for purchase at Artist Repertory Theater through the end of May.
Geezer Gallery manages the exhibit....and info is available on site about purchasing.
Leo is an interesting and mostly like-able character. He's a bit immature....still in the process of trying to find himself (not unlike most 21 year olds.) He is a loving grandson who seems caught off guard by the harsher realities of life, but he also has a keen sense of environmental politics. He is confused about love...and sex.
You'll need to see the play to see what I mean....no spoilers here!
