Tabletop Sculpture - Goat Silhouette - faux taxidermy

I typically love to make art about things that fly, but a visit to a favorite eatery in the NY Catskills (lots of shabby chic taxidermy) inspired what would normally be a wall mounted head. The use of negative space around overlapping horns was very much a focus. Free-hand-cut via plasma cutter out of 20 gauge sheet metal and left to flash rust just enough to give a curious surface. It fits in a channel cut within a salvaged joist out of a late 20th century Wilmington, DE home. Leave it to the elements on a patio, or let this goat keep you company from the mantle while you read by the fire.

This goat head sits right around life-scale at 18" tall
