Bardiglio Marble, Portuguese Marble, 70cm x 60cm x 184cm
The horns of this sculpture are fitted with tapered pins, so that they can be removed easily.
In this sculpture I am pulling the animal head literally out of the block. The sculpture stands as high as a human and the horns could be like long arms lifting to create a creature that is over towering. The sculpture is an “awesome” reminder of the human will, being a wild thing, something we should care for with “awe”.
