This work, which depicts a bird in the flurry of a running takeoff from water, is captured in the moment before it becomes airborne. Each element in this sculpture conveys acceleration, from the beak and one wing stretching forward to the powerful running feet. Even the markings in the stone seem to support the sense of momentum. One can almost hear the noise of the feet slapping the water!
