The Bird’s Unlikely Mount

Description

A dark, aged-metal figure rises from a richly textured base, with a watchful, birdlike face and a rounded body covered in intricate details. It looks as if it has wandered out of a folktale—and has no intention of explaining itself. Place it on a shelf or side table for a touch of curious mystery in your space.

Artist

I build mysterious worlds from metal, glass, paint, and found fragments, blending armored, watchful guardians, bold color, and mysterious faces. My work is part relic, part riddle, and never content to behave.
