I created “Muse” towards the end of 2016.  I created it in an effort to test different surface treatment techniques, drawing inspiration from the pacific Northwest.  It was conceived to be part of a gallery show with my own theme of nature and mythology.

I placed a candle inside, illuminating the bronze paint.  Wax paper covers the carved out portion on the hip, and when in dimmer environments, illuminates nicely.

Displayed at Columbia City Gallery February-April 2017.
