Leafy Seadragon
|
The Leafy seadragon is a bronze sculpture that floats on a block of red gum reminiscing of coral- above a large block of cedar pine.
The whole sculpture is about 150 cm high. Although this gives the feel of a seascape- due to the colours and finishing of the bronze, the sculpture is best of inside. (the colours may fade, and the bronze will need maintenance outside. ) This Seadragon will be created as a small series, and each one will be unique- with its own block or frame (can be mounted on the wall as well.) If you are interested in owning your own Seadragon- contact me and we can discuss the possibilities. |

Leafy Seadragon on wood
Leafy seadragon in deeper darker colours giving the impression of the seadragon hiding behind coral in the deep sea.
the wood is placed in a bed of sand ( in resin- weatherproof) in a steel frame.
the frame can easily be placed on raised legs- making it a stand alone sculpture.
this sculpture is happy inside and outside .

Some days you just feel happy ,walking around- you develop a swagger, and everyone sees you are feeling good! 'Great day' is a bird that is happy. Probably because I started making him during covid isolation, but I only really got going when restrictions were lifted and everything felt light again. The original was made in soft wax, then cast in bronze and colourful patinas.

Happy Dance
|
Happy Dance is a bird that is clearly overjoyed! Is it because it is a beautiful day? Is it because we are free, and can go where we want? Is is because we are just so lucky - to be in this beautiful country ? Or is it just because? You will know.

Skyline is a group of three giraffes. Giraffes are amazing creatures that- despite their body shape _ long legs, long necks) actually have the same bone structure as most vertebreas just longer. With these giraffes I was looking for the limits in the makeup of these parts, while at the same time finding the limits of the material I was working in.
Skyline as a group is a limited edition of 3/5. The giraffes are also available loose, as single ones. |

Drinking Giraffe
|
With my Giraffes I was looking for the limits in the material, both wax and bronze. I loved finding how thin I could go in neck and legs, as a personal challenge. It turned out to be pretty challenging to the foundry as well- And, believe me- the foundry did not thank me for that!
The drinking giraffe is mounted on a block of chocolate elm- a rare wood- and has his drinking hole in the rough bark area of the wood. Base and sculpture go extremely well together. Drinking Giraffe can be part of a group, or can be a sculpture on its own. Drinking Giraffe is a prize winner in 3 shows. 20x25x20cm. Drinking and standing Giraffe
