Description:  

The sculpture was inspired by an Art Nouveau pin circa 1898 created by Rene Lalique. The dragon fly body is created with wood, foam and resin, then decorated with pieces of antique silver which includes two sugar bowls, a tea pot lid and dish handles. The dragon fly head and griffin paws are hand carved in butter nut wood. The claws are deer antlers. The torso and face are cast in resin from two different models. The girl's head piece is sculpted in epoxy clay. The wings are wood and epoxy with insets of antique silver plates.

The work has been created as part of an ongoing series entitled 'Myth Understood,' and is currently available for sale.
