Nest Eggs is a sculpture which was privately commissioned by one of my private collectors from Sydney. This lovely woman waited several years for her sculpture and there were many incarnations along the way. I was overloaded with large commissioned public art pieces managed under strict timelines along the way, and she patiently waited for her piece. This eventuated in two other pieces, a copper rose and a marble leaf “Autumns Praise”, then finally “Nest Eggs”. The concept for Nest Eggs was inspired by the client, her husband and their three (now adult) boys.

    So delicate & intricate I did not realize the nest was entirely of copper. I must ask what the ‘feather’ is made of? All of the different materials are so beautifully combined into one cohesive artwork. Congratulations to the lucky owner, gorgeous work Amanda.

      Thanks so much for your lovely feedback. The Black feather is made from Black Chillagoe Marble.
