The first sketch for the Little Harbour Seal sculpture was designed so that the forms would be made out of bent metal tubing. However, after some reconsideration of it's placement, I decided to make the shapes into solid forms instead.
This is a proposal sketch for a sculpture show based in Rochester, NH. The theme of the show is folklore, but otherwise it is completely open. And since I have yet to grow tired of making giant bugs, I thought it would be fun to base this piece on the folklore surrounding spiders.
This sculpture was designed to find a home in a public garden somewhere. It celebrates the symbiotic relationship found in nature. I imagine it to be all sorts of bright, beautiful colors, however I really enjoy the simplicity of the gray tones in the sketch.
This little guy is waiting eagerly to be built... but the idea is to build a blade of grass to have him perched on, preferably near a pond or lake. Oh, and he'll probably be about 15 feet tall when he's done!
