FLYING FISH
Loosely based on pictures of various flying fish species (Exocoetidae). Each of the wings and fins is plasma cut from sheet steel with the body made from hundreds of individual scales hand bent, filed, sanded and hammered into shape then welded together. Finished in brushed steel and partially polished then clear lacquered.  Due to the flying pose it is made to be displayed on its own stand which has been made from stainless steel embedded into a block of blue slate. This design can be reproduced and can be made in other metals such as Stainless Steel, or wax / lacquered or painted.  Can also be made in different sizes and poses. n.b. Copies although close can never be exact due to differences in the metal and weld finish and rock used for the stand.
Guide price at this size with Slate display stand £700.00 (no vat)
