Ambush hunters


To the left a rear view of a wire owl sculpture. Thousands of pieces of wire are twisted together like a tapestry to create this piece. In real life owls are very fuzzy and soft, evolutionary traits that make them utterly silent while hunting, the ultimate ambush hunter. Silence in flight helps two ways: the rat can't hear the owl's stealthy wing flapping and the owl can hear better without his own noise interfering. In this sculpture I tried to highlight the traits that make an owl silent.
