(There's a page dedicated to this series, with close-up images and some studio-nerdy thoughts on the process.)
Surf Sylph stands offshore, its legs in cool water,
ushering the forces of water and wind meeting land.
With a crustacean feel in form and color, it reminds me of unusual,
colorful tide pool creatures.
It's ideally a table-top piece at about 30" tall.
Tailwind Sprite seems blown from behind, keen on moving in a
forward direction. Its base is cooler-toned with greens, blues and purples.
Warm red and yellow tendrils revel in being blown onward.
This piece stands about 56" tall.
Having just gotten some peat moss for the garden, it wasn't a big
leap to see this creature at home in a peat bog, given its stouter
stance and earthy colors. Its main tendril seems lasso-like in form,
but intelligent, curious, erotic and perhaps fatal to prey.
Sometimes it seems very still, yet ready to leap into action. At others,
like it's in motion already.
Bog Sylph is 45" tall.
At
roughly
6'
tall,
Marsh
Sylph
has
a
heron-like
feel.
I
readily
imagine
it
wading
out
in
the
marshlands,
at
home
with
the
grasses
and
reeds.
