According to ancient Greek legend the Titan Prometheus created man from clay. In these Sleepy Heads I have portrayed the moment that the face is created - still partly clay, and yet obviously human. They are yet to have full life blown into them (Athena did this later, it is said) so they are asleep. Asleep and untroubled, as they have yet to experience any of the harshness and trauma of life, they are simply tranquil.
Thus, each Sleepy Head is an expression of peace and harmony, within ourselves and with the earth on which we live.
