This piece was a year long project. I
employed a shingling of copper, forming, attaching and soldering the copper pieces over the
armature, there by making it again one piece, shaped and bonded to the trussed skeleton.
The two Dolphins and the Shark are each eight-feet long, stands eight-feet high, with a
foot print of about eleven- feet.
It was a wonderful piece to do, it gave back to me every
day, telling me to keep going, as I was doing it in a trying environment.
"From that
struggle immerged this world class sculpture"
I'm spending all my time painting now. It gets me there faster, but still yearning to go
back home to a metal medium again some day...
