'Taking Flight'
One‑of‑a‑kind sculptural artwork in polymer clay
£245.00
Inspired by the quiet power of the barn owl and by my son Archie’s wildlife photography, Taking Flight captures a moment of poised movement and transformation. Sculpted in low relief using polymer clay, the owl sweeps across the landscape with a steady, piercing gaze — a symbol of courage, clarity, and new beginnings.
Layered over a foil armature and textured by hand, the piece features delicate feather work, soft pastel lifts, stamped floral elements, and a richly patterned background enhanced with metal‑leaf grout techniques. The owl remains the striking focal point, emerging from the landscape with depth and presence.
Sculpted into the design are the words: Rise up, spread your wings. It’s your time to soar.
