REMARKS: This bird is developed from an automobile hood, by cutting and bending its sheet metal like origami. On the underside there are factory stampings, which were engineered strictly to give stiffness. Fortuitously they have a perfect alar look, so were incorporated as part of the wing sculpture. The neck, head, body, legs, and talons were added.
PROVENANCE: Collection the artist.
