Cock 16

This metal rooster sculpture distills a barnyard archetype into a lyrical assemblage of bolts, plates, and curved cutouts, where the mechanics of construction become the poetry of form. Its warm rusted reds and bruised violets are held against a weathered grey ground, allowing light to skim the perforations and cast lace-like shadows that animate the body with a second, fleeting silhouette. The composition balances proud vertical posture with a sweeping, centrifugal tail, turning a familiar symbol of morning into a quiet meditation on resilience—life reasserted through salvaged remnants and disciplined craft.
