About this submission

Now, more than ever, the ability to 'connect without contact' is essential. Bringing a sense of humor and humanity to the world has been central to artist Peter Leue's life. Mostly confined to his workshop because of the pandemic, this accomplished fine arts furniture maker and instructor revisits his raw material, wood, to find new purpose in the creation of life-sized, posable figures seen across the United States since 2014.
