2 heads better than one?

"Morpheous' (bronze), by Lionel Smith, in the group show "Exposed,'' at the Helen Day Art Center,  Stowe, Vt., through Oct. 21.

The gallery says: "Lionel Smit is known for large-scale portraiture both on canvas and as sculpture; he is one of South Africa's preeminent contemporary artists. His process as an artist today remains adaptive, inventive and physically engaging. Mr. Smit's sculpture 'Morpheus' conveys a strong sense of duality with the two bronze heads connected in perfect symmetry. ''
