Bronze (Bird Sculpture)

This sculptural bird form feels wrested from the earth rather than modeled from it, its compact silhouette pressed forward as if bearing the weight of time and weather. Mottled greens and oxidized blues pool across the surface like lichen on stone, turning corrosion into a kind of living light that animates the body’s ridges and hollows. The deliberately rough facture refuses decorative clarity, inviting the viewer to read the figure as both creature and relic—a meditation on endurance, instinct, and the quiet gravitas of the natural world.
