Description

I always admired the power and sensitivity of Rodin's sculpture of Honore de Balzac, defiantly aloof, his cloak tightly wrapped around him, observing French society and commenting on its activities. I can easily imagine an eternally stoic, great horned owl unmoving except for the occasional twist of its head, observing, recording, and reporting on the world that surrounds him. Unlike Rodin's bronze Balzac , this observer of nature is plaited, woven, and brazed copper. 50" x 22" x 29
