Stephen Charlton Mouse Relaxing Silver Maquette
11618
Stephen Charlton (B. 1958): Massive, relaxing Mouse. 'Why do we laugh when tickled by others but not when we tickle ourselves?' "I'm often asked 'why mice?' I suppose it's the wit mixed with a little fantasy that intrigues me, a sense of childhood told through stories that captured my imagination. Here the imagination can play any game it wants if you let it loose. And to be able to bring a 'smile inside' to others is a great achievement for me, to children and adults alike."
