Skyline is group of giraffes in all their movements; Running, standing on the look out, and drinking. With these giraffes I exaggerated the length of limbs and necks typical for these magical animals- while at the same time stretching the bronze to its limits in measurements.
The group of giraffes is placed on a block of Chocolate elm, a rare wood, with the drinking giraffe placed at a knot so that it mimics a waterhole.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Trained as an art teacher in The Netherlands, it was only in Australia (and after our 3 kids grew up a little) that I focussed on my sculpture career.
Moving countries was interesting, but also brought some problems- different sources and language sometimes prohibited me from finding the materials I was used to.
My inspiration has always been in nature, and in animals as their liveliness and movement touches me. I love plastic materials like clay, wax and cement, and at the same time love working with metal- and the very best is combining them!
When working with a material I will always seek out what cant be done- and how to do it anyway.
