Sometimes I have the opportunity to design and create a work for someone's property or a business which is life sized or a large scaled caricature. These can be made from bare non-ferrous wire, which will patina over time or from plastic coated colored wire, which results in a cartoonish appearance. Bare wired work is more elegant and attractive to the average person, but colored wire pieces can be fun and folks sometimes burst out laughing when they see it, which I enjoy. Prior to the era of digital photos, I made a giant snapping turtle for the edge of a pond on an estate. Below are some other examples. One is a young moose I hauled to Ohio and installed in 2010 and a baby giraffe and elephant made for a preschool in 1998.
