Sculpture 2 : Night Sentry

Media: Bronze

$3200

My interest in birds, fueled from a trip to Australia, drove my ambition to sculpt an owl. Though great horned owls weren't part of my trip, my archive of images from years of hiking throughout Colorado proved helpful in visualizing my 3D piece. I began working with clay, a wire armature and my hands to put it all together for a piece suitable for casting in bronze. I'm on a never ending quest to explore techniques and mediums to use in making original art.
This is a modification of a smaller sculpture and fuels the stories of the wise old owl. It is majestically perched on a tree which has grown out of a stack of books.
