Here’s a first look at a recently-completed shadow sculpture — Giving Thanks, maquette.

The picture was taken in the shop, on the worktable where I work out the designs of these pieces.

All done in steel. Forged, welded, folded.
In contrast, the shadow shows the recipient’s hands, giving thanks.
This is a maquette, or sample/model – I’ll create a finished piece some time later.
