The Goddess Freya
The Goddess Freya
Welded Corten Steel Sculpture
84” x 71” x 36”
The Goddess Freya is part of the "I Can Soar" Series. Freya is the Norse Goddess of Love and Fertility. It reflects the feeling of joy and unlimited potential that the artist feels when listening to many of the renditions of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". This contemporary artwork starts with a third-scale model of the figure hand-sculpted in wax. It is then digitized and manipulated digitally. The lines of the abstraction of the figure represent the lines of motion and the musculature of the body. The Corten steel will weather to a burnt-orange patina. After developing the patina, it will stop rusting and will last for decades outside untreated.
This piece weighs approximately 300 pounds. It will require bolting to a concrete or timber plinth. It is stable but the extended leg provides sufficient leverage for someone to tilt it off-balance.
