RA Hetherington "The Sheep Don't Get It" 6"x7" Narrative Framed Ceramic Tile WP5972

In The Sheep Don’t Get It, a winged figure hovers in the sky above a single sheep standing calmly below. Set inside a shadowbox-style frame, the scene reads like a quiet parable—open to interpretation but grounded in irony.

Hand-built in clay and kiln-fired, the figures are modeled with dimensional detail and set against a softly textured sky and landscape. The printed caption reads: “The Sheep Don’t Get It — How nice to live a life in bliss unencumbered by any need to reason internally.”

The piece blends humor with subtle social commentary, touching on themes of innocence, belief, and self-awareness. As with much of Hetherington’s work, symbolism is clear but not forced, allowing viewers to decide how deeply they wish to engage.

Measures 6.25" wide, 7.5" long, 1.5" deep. Wired for hanging.
