Sculptures by artist William Kimmons primarily use recycled scrap metals. Occasionally he incorporates other materials as inspired by works.
This piece was influenced by the sightings and sounds of owls in the surrounding wooded area of Ceder Hill Missouri where William spent years growing up and exploring. He has a great love of the outdoors and nature that is incorporated into his work.
The legs are discarded metal springs and give the owl a slight motion causing a live industrial feel.
The side view delivers resemblance to another feathered creature.
The back view and end leaving you with a couple of Owl facts:
- "Owls can rotate their heads and necks as much as 270 degrees. Owls have fourteen neck vertebrae as compared to 7 in humans which makes their necks more flexible."
This is a pic of an owl on the mailboxes where William grew up captured by his mother Geri Kimmons this year. As you can see it did not show off it's "fourteen neck vertebrae" with a 270 degree turn towards the camera!
