John “Jack” Morford is a sculptor who uses his sculptures to create visual parodies of the human condition. He categories his work as “whimsically abstract pieces. He grew up in Saginaw, Michigan. After high school, Jack attended The Art Institute of Chicago. He later studied art again at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho, and completed a Master of Fine Arts Degree at the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, California. Jack spent a lifetime participating in juried shows, art fairs, being represented by galleries, as well as commissioning work. He passed away in 2015 at the age of 75.

This sculpture is one of three pieces acquired by the Lee Library in 2002.
