About this artwork
I have done a series of marble sculptures pertaining to bats.
Bats are the only mammals capable of true, sustained flight. They are classified as mammals because they are warm-blooded, have fur, and bear live young which they nurse with milk.
This is a sculpture of an embryo of a black mastiff bat in the womb of its mother. This sculpture is a true representation of a bat and the position it lays in. They lay in the womb with their developing… wings covering their face like hands. Eventually those handlike stuctures grow into wings.
I like to think this bat sculpture is “Dreaming of Flight” he will someday partake in!
