Marbled Godwits are large cinnamon-colored shorebirds that nest on the northern Great Plains in summer.  When they leave the prairies, they migrate to coastal regions from Virginia to Texas and from Oregon to Mexico. They feed in shallow water along the shoreline or on tidal mudflats, probing deeply with their long up-curved bills. This sculpture is life-size and is based on my observations of Marbled Godwits in the field and studying museum collections. Most of the time, Godwits are moving rapidly, searching for food.  This constant movement and the beautiful, ever-changing shapes of their form, is an exciting part of experiencing these birds in the wild.  The movement of the sculpture is based on the circle and the contrasting lines of the legs and bill. I think the sculpture is successful because it respects anatomical accuracy while serving the larger purposes of art.  It is mounted on a Walnut base turntable so it may be enjoyed from all perspectives.
 
Among other notable collections, a cast of this sculpture is in the collection of President George W. Bush and Laura Bush.
