A recent addition to Boni's range, these charming little birds combine found wood - in
this case, ebony - with metal wire elements. The birds balance on the twig at different heights, their legs and claws holding on in lifelike detail. The sculpture balances on a metal base which is very stable.
Each one-of-a-kind sculpture is inspired by the character of the found wood, Boniface seeing his mission as completing nature's work and revealing the animal form that he sees emerging from the grain of the wood. Often the wood is left raw in part of the finished piece, the natural and polished surfaces making a harmonious whole.
All sculptures are fumigated and shipped with a fumigation certificate.
