Nike

As a memorial to a nurse, my father and I were commissioned to create a sculpture of an angel.  We based the sculpture on the Nike of Samothrace, which currently is in the Louvre. Instead of marble we used 1/4" sheets of plate steel which we will let rest into an umber-ocher patina.  It is at 1:1 scale.

We're excited to see it mounted in the hopsitals garden come spring!
