Heron

This sculpture of a heron was a commission from a community allotment in Derry. The beak is wrapped in copper wire, the neck is woven using a single rod rand with an odd number of uprights, and the body is a random weave, to give the impression of wings and feathers. The challenge always for Brendan Farren is to make it look alive, getting the curves right.
