Beaver
Dale Lewis
Minnesota
Materials: Steel
Selling Price: $8,000
Artist Statement:
This sculpture is all about texture. I thought I could make 3″ masonry nails look like fur. I named it at my wife’s expense. While we were walking in a nature area, she yelled out “BEAVER!” – it turned out to be an Irish Setter.
