Born of divine inspiration and incalculable hours of artisanship, this enameled iron casting has been conceived as more than an individual piece, relying as much on the context of its surroundings as it does on itself. Surrounded by a stark backdrop of brick and asphalt this industrial age clawfoot creature waits poised to pounce any unsuspecting prey which might foolishly emerge to find its end. An allegory for the dangers born of the industrial revolution, this work remains a museum favorite.
