Phoenicopterus Renaissance

This is a gorgeous piece on so many levels. It's like a futuristic decorative sculpture with nods to primitive and Art Deco genres; medieval Eastern Europe meets its descendant Brancusi… It also looks like the heraldic crest for some Steampunk empire for a series just waiting to be produced! The arrangement of the layers is so perfect to the concept of the phi proportion that it gives it a verisimilitude that no painter or draftsman could ever give it but a metalsmith or crafter would relish to opportunity and means to make this real! If I have the materials, a plasma cutter, and a variable crimper, I would start shaping this right now! Bravo! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c…" width="20" height="20" alt="" title="Clap"/>
