The Crane Woman

The crane is sometimes seen as a symbol of wisdom and patience. This led me to envision the crane as an elderly woman, perhaps a wise old crone. This sculpture is the result of that vision. The Crane Woman has a cloth body over a wire armature. The head, hands, and feet are sculpted in epoxy modeling compound and the clothing is made of leather and fabric. This piece is currently in a private collection in Texas.
