Erin Sullivan, "Bronze Feather" Side Table/Stool, USA, 2015

About the Item

Hundreds of wax feathers were molded and sculpted to create bronze feather, a totemic object that is at once functional table or stool, as well as a unique free standing sculptural work of art. The density of its form is elegantly juxtaposed by the ethereality of the delicate feather form. Through a labor intensive process, Sullivan implements the highest quality casting techniques to create exquisite, realistic bronze interpretations of her organic subject matter. After sculpting models using wax reproductions made from a natural objects, Sullivan creates molds of the final model from which a wax positive is produced. Once this wax is “chased” or reworked with great attention, “gates” or wax rods are attached to create channels through which the molten bronze will travel. The whole structure is then dipped, poured, devested, sandblasted, welded, chased, re-detailed, polished and patinated. As Sullivan works on a commission basis, custom dimensionality as well as finishes may be accommodated for a bespoke version of the bronze feather. Measures: 18.5” H x 10” D top x 13.75” D bottom.
