Gopher Tortoise Sculpture

Artwork inspired by nature.

This is my first sculpture working with metal. It has been a unique and fun experience making this piece. I was inspired by the Gopher Tortoise when starting this adventure into working with fire and metal. My wife is a wildlife rehabilitator specializing in reptiles and amphibians. The gopher tortoise species and its plight are frequent visitors to our home in need of help.

I plan and look forward to making more of these sculptures.

 


Please watch the video of the making of this sculpture below.
