Spilling the Wind
Description
By David Turner Silicon bronze Since Roman times, the eagle in art has been a symbol of power and clear vision. Here the artist has placed the eagle in an almost vertical soaring motion. One wing reaches heavenward and the other points down to earth. Meanwhile, those sharp eyes are looking ahead – perhaps to the future. Notice the color variation, which is due to the application of a special patina that defines the feathers and helps protect the bronze.
