Lot Essay

''......The fish eagle and its call, which has a wonderful ringing tone, is very reminiscent of Africa's wild spaces. The lift of the eagle on thermals and the upward thrust of the bird, reaching up towards the heavens and calling, is explored here. The piece is cast in copper nickel, which has wonderful reflective qualities. It adds a visual lightness to the composition, a reflectiveness that is reminiscent of sky and air and the fluidity and power of these birds.''
