Stone, Quartz Egret Running

A sculptural study in stillness, the Egret Running captures the bird mid-stride with an elegance that speaks to the naturalist tradition rendered in a contemporary medium. Cast in metal with brass appointments, its slender verticality — rising thirteen and a half inches — commands the kind of quiet authority that anchors a console or library shelf without demanding it. The composition is less ornament than object, a piece that rewards the eye with each viewing angle and holds its own among serious works.
