Crane
Crane Sculpture – Steampunk Metal Bird Art. I was fascinated by this bird because of its astonishingly loud, clear and brassy voice, which sounds like a trumpet. I thought that musical instruments were the perfect way to capture this distinctive sound. For this reason, I decided to use parts of woodwind instruments to create this crane sculpture.
I had bought an old-fashioned English car horn at a flea market. This was the starting point from which the whole idea developed. A part of a saxophone was perfect for creating the crane’s graceful neck.
Take a look at the crane’s beak. It is actually a stainless steel instrument used in gynecology – I had already used one of these in another sculpture.
Once all the parts came together, a charming crane with a trumpet-like character emerged.
