Canadian artist P. Roch Smith taps into a surrealist sensibility in the bronze sculpture of a suited man sprouting tree branches in place of arms.  "Using toys as a foundation material is a natural fit that I have gravitated toward as a means of speaking to my concerns. Toys have always fascinated me – how they function and how their meanings can be ‘read’. For such simple objects toys inhabit a complex space..." - P. Roch Smith
