Delta Flyer Bronze Art

in #art7 years ago

Saturday Art, Steemians!

Today I share more of my art; a bronze, small-scale sculpture. This one is a replica of a pre-columbian Quimbaya culture artifact. The object is often argued as a representation of a modern aircraft specifically because of its vertical tail; a feature no real animal seems to possess, and the area resembling a “cockpit”. A while ago, some folks made a model out of light-weight material for testing and indeed found the form is aerodynamically sound. Ancient astronauts, eh?

The real artifact is made from a gold-alloy. Mine is bronze but looks a lot like gold. It rests on an acrylic ring display.



A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things,
a poet in words, a musician by sounds.

-Henry Moore
