Artist’s notes

Inspired by cormorants drying their wings while perching on posts by the sea.  A coarsely grogged clay to give strength for the wings, each feather was added individually.  The sculpture was  treated with a very thick layer of oxide to give it a dark pewter colour. The basking cormorant was exhibited at the St Barbe gallery, open exhibition 2022 in Lymington.
