Herbivore fossil 2017
2017
About the Item
This shallow relief sculpture is of a 135 million years old fossil of a unknown herbivore discovered in India from the jurassic period. Davies chose this fossil amongst a plethora of others that is intrinsically beautiful in its appearance, stance and general appeal. His aim here is to tap into a largely undiscovered sculptural beauty inherent in the science of palaeontology. Sculpted in herculite and cast in bronze it is designed to be wall mounted.
This fossil is gilded in gold with a hilded palladium background. This artwork is to be ordered with 14 to 16 weeks from confirmed order to collection date.

- NautilusLocated in Oswestry, GBThe Nautilus shell is an excellent example of mathematics inherent within lifeforms of the natural world. As Davies consistently uses the 'golden ratio' (1:1.618) to proportion his work, he thought it important to exemplify this in his subject matter. The Fibonacci sequence (where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers) and the logarithmic spiral are also inherent here. The bronze shell is mounted on a black granite base in a way that creates an optical illusion suggesting it is levitating above the base. This bronze Nautilus...Category
