I Don't Have to Work that Big
A short documentary about sculptor Joe Fafard. Joe knows cows. He knows the way they tuck in their forelegs to lie down and ruminate, the way a calf romps in the barnyard. He also knows his friends and neighbours of the farming community of Pense, Saskatchewan. And he sculpts them all, in clay, in eloquent little miniatures. Joe's work has been exhibited throughout Canada as well as in Paris and New York. Here you see what he does.
