Title: Beginner's Luck Bookends
Medium: Bronze
Dimensions: 13"h x 21"w
"Beginner's Luck" showcases sculptural bookends, with two separate pieces functioning as supports, each depicting a figure. The figures are sculptures and are intricately cast to reveal textured details. On the left, a younger figure is seated, knees drawn up, holding a fishing rod that bends with tension, showcasing that the young boy is actively engaged in catching a fish. On the right, the older figure mirrors the posture of the first but is tiresomely awaiting to catch a fish. The art celebrates the theme of fishing, exuding a blend of tranquility and anticipation unique to the sport. The bookends, in this image, are placed symmetrically around a small collection of books, serving their practical purpose while also adding aesthetic charm to the setting.
