Abstract Ox Sculpture

An abstracted rendering of the ox — one of the oldest symbols of strength and agrarian dignity — rendered here in composite with an aged finish that lends the piece the quiet authority of something long-owned and well-considered. At eight inches tall, it occupies a desk corner or console shelf with the ease of an object that has always belonged exactly where it is placed. The silhouette moves between figuration and pure sculptural form, the contours loosened just enough to suggest the animal rather than document it.
