About the Item
Delicate, frightening, otherworldly are all descriptions that apply to these unique sculptures by artist, Kirk Roda. "Barkbud Herd" is an exploration of pure fantasy that highlights hierarchy, social role, and status within groups, as well as the important part the individual plays within those groups. Each uniquely created treehorse wears an adornment that defines the position one plays within that tribe/society. The herd is fanciful, emotive, and whimsical with a sense of movement and narrative. There is a fragile tension like that of a wobbly newborn deer, demonstrated by the juxtaposition of their twig-like legs and weighty bodies, combined with varied expressions to create a dynamic social group. Each herd is marked by a tag number listing their name and number.
Kirk Roda is a Detroit area sculptor who currently lives in Oxford, Michigan. He graduated from Easter Michigan University where he received a Fellowship to earn his Master’s Degree in Sculpture. His sculpture reflects his interest in satire and surrealism with a dash of elegant classical influence thrown in for good measure. He juxtaposes natural elements by using found objects, steel, clay, and polymers to create rhythmic compositions that convey feelings of whimsy with elements of surprise. Kirk’s many exhibitions include held at the General Motors Design Center Art Gallery in Warren, Michigan and the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum in Saginaw, Michigan. He has won multiple awards for his work including a purchase award from the University of Michigan. His sculpture is found in many private collections in the U.S. and several public collections including the outdoor sculpture collection on the campus of The University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio.
The dimensions are general and may vary slightly. Largest of the group is indicated above and the smallest is 23" h x 18" w x 9.50" d

Eugene Caples "Bronze Sculpture II" Abstract Bronze Sculpture
By Eugene Caples
Located in Detroit, MI
This small exquisite "Bronze Sculpture II" is in excellent condition and a perfect example of Eugene Caples craftsmanship. This is mainly abstract with some graphic or architectural elements and is so delightful that mythical creatures demand to be considered. It cries out to be touched and held, looked at and caressed. The beautiful patina on the surface gives voice to the many hands that have done these things.
Eugene Caples is a designer and craftsman who worked in Kansas City in the 1960s and later through the early 21st century. He attended the Kansas City Art Institute, earning his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Industrial Design in 1959. In 1963 he was accepted to Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
