Lion Protos

With a last name that means 'Castle of the Lions', I should probably explore a lion sculpture.I'm warming my brain up with clay.

izigimigizi ... Many Ways

izigimigizi is an integration of Migizi(Bald Eagle)and the human skull. Spirits can be one many ways.The medium is .032" sheet mild steel,hand cut and hand formed.Some folding was utilized forming feathers.In this sculpture, the skull is less stylized while the bird is more stylized,a matter of choice.There is hidden symbolism for you to find.With this effort, greatest growth was realized creating the Eagle head. I tried to give the bird a flow that could only be found with my hands working clay, then transferred to metal.My fingers taught my eyes.
