We delivered the work to the Freed Gallery yesterday and here are a few images of my new sculpture. The Copper Diving Duck is reminicent of those old helmeted diving suits, which were nicknamed “Iron Ducks”. This piece is actually made of copper and mahogany but reminds me of a duck in a diving helmet.

Original “glyphs” resembling ancient texts are carved into the alabaster and mahogany. Copper and copperleaf add elegant contrast to this timeless form.
