Bronze sculpture of Harry Manx, who is an amazing Canadian musician from Salt Spring Island. While I was watching a video of Harry playing I became intrigued by a close up shot of his hands. I was impressed by their character and form, and thought they’d be a good subject for a sculpture study. Then I thought, “Why not the whole Harry? Harry agreed to pose for reference photos, and after many hours of sculpting in wax, and the complicated process of casting in bronze, he was finally finished. Harry said he was, “Stunned” when he first saw it, and now has one on his mantle. They are in an edition of 12 plus two artist proofs and there are only 6 left.
