The artist said, "The sculpture "The Need to Know" is a sculpture born of this childhood reminiscence. It was a time when a boy and his dog could relax under a shade tree and still travel to all the remote corners of the world by means of fiction, fact and fantasy. This sculpture celebrates reading as a doorway to creativity and imagination." This sculpture was originally commissioned for the Vail Public Library, Vail, Colorado. Other outdoor installations include: the Loveland Public Library (Loveland, CO); the Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital (Tulsa, OK); the Bayer Learning Center, Duquesne University (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania); the Bedford Public Library (Bedford, TX); and the Southeastern Regional Public Library (Gilbert, AZ).
