Description
Sadly or gladly, I never grew out of my fascination for dinosaurs and promised myself that one day I would sculpt one.During a brief respite in my usual busy routine I realized this ambition and sculpted a rather obscure dinosaur called a Struthiomimus; a very gracile and elegant creature that is popularly known as an ‘Ostrich mimic’. Having sculpted the extinct creature came the question of “What to do with it now?”
After some thought the bizarre idea of putting a fat lady riding upon it, in a sense of panic, came to mind. It makes a very strange, humorous and surreal sculpture, which together with the base stands six feet tall.
The technical aspect of actually making the sculpture stand is considerable, as the supporting leg is so thin but it is this that helps make the sculpture so full of movement.
