THE CHICK
This sculpture is a whimsical exploration of contrasts, bringing to life a bird made from humble cardboard, a material often overlooked for its fragility and transience. The intricate layering of cut cardboard strips creates a textured plumage that captures the essence of the bird’s form, evoking both its delicate nature and its inherent strength. The meticulous craftsmanship imbues the piece with a sense of vitality, as though the bird might take flight at any moment.
THE BASE
The base of the sculpture, adorned with vibrant, hand-painted details, adds a playful narrative to the work. It serves as a grounding element, contrasting the naturalistic depiction of the bird with bold, almost naïve art. This interplay of styles invites viewers to ponder the coexistence of the whimsical and the real, the transient and the enduring.
CARDBOARD
Through its innovative use of material and form, the sculpture speaks to the beauty of transformation — how ordinary, discarded materials can be reimagined into something extraordinary. It is not merely a depiction of a bird but a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the joy found in unexpected artistry.
