Standing just about 7′ tall, Merlin is a cold-cast bronze figure featuring  a pedestal surrounded by wildlife and topped by a robed magician “conjuring the elements”. A spring steel spiral, swaying gently in the breeze, holds aloft small leaves and rocks as well as a hummingbird and small lizard. Created in this configuration as a commission in the town of Merlin, Oregon, it is available as seen or in parts (Raccoon, Squirrels, Bear cub, Merlin himself or just the pedestal alone.) Although this piece is seen in cold cast bronze (Ground bronze suspended in resin), the materials can be altered to fit your needs or color schemes.

Approximately 7’x 3’x 3′. Cold Cast Bronze (as seen). Limited Edition.

The Goblin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stealthily creeping through the old woman’s garden, the Goblin conceals himself in his avian disguise in order to remain unseen. A sudden flash and he finds himself briskly grabbed and hurled, head-long, in to a large iron bird cage. The woman’s voice calls out, “Here you go pretty bird…”

Now he sits, uninterested in the seed that accumulates in his cage, waiting his opportunity to be set free. Don’t get too close or you could be the instrument of his freedom…

 

Limited Edition (4). Approximately 5’x 2 1/2’x 2 1/2′ with cage. Mixed Media.

The Flyer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Faith is no more supportive than a kite in the wind; yet it’s loftiness still keeps us a afloat.” Another of the characters in the Inkling Series is The Flyer. Initially designed as standing on the edge of a shelf, supported by his “kite”, he is also quite good hanging from his support cable along a flat wall supported by the Climber’s support “arm”.

Figure – Approximately 8″x 4″x 5″ with 6′ black coated steel cable. Bronze, Limited Edition. (Stainless Steel with clear coated steel cable also available by special order.)

The Climber

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very popular piece, the Climber is part of  the “Inkling Series” of sculptures that depict varying human actions in stripped down, minimalist ways. He is available facing both right and left and is held aloft by a coated steel cable attached to a supporting “arm” that attaches above him to the wall. He is fully adjustable on the cable so he can be slid high up near the top, his “climb” nearly complete, or down lower with his struggle still ahead of him.

Figure -Approximately 6″x 9″x 4″ on a 6′ coated steel cable. Bronze Limited Edition (Stainless Steel Castings with clear coated cable by special order)
