Spero

Spero
Clay, Cardboard, Newspaper, Plastic Bags, Wire, Ribbon, and Acrylic Paint (2008)
(Close-up)

Spero is a sculpture made for a Costume Design course. I chose the name Spero because it sounds like Sparrow, but also because it is I hope in Latin. It is a mystical creature half man half bird, but all dead. It is resemblance of a gargoyle standing stoic. The materials chose add to the character almost as if a garbage bag had been ripped open and this creature emerged making it grounded in earthly while looking like a creature that is beyond this world.
