This sculpture by David F. Judy was originally created in ceramic clay at his Tennessee studio. It will be cast in a bronze material to closely resemble the color of the clay model.
Here is a brief story by the artist of the inspiration for this art:
"In my vision while creating this piece, I stepped out of a deep forest and into a clearing. In the distance, I could see a large stone well. Next to it, a dark figure was turning to run and I looked into its terrified eyes. It clutched an old book in its arms and ran into the forest. I heard agonizing moans coming from its direction as it disappeared into the dark woods. A low rumble began growing and I could see the well begin to shake. Slowly I approached the well and walked around it. The blocks began to shapeshift and became almost fluid. Strange images began to appear in the blocks as they changed. I then realized that the images were changing as my thoughts and emotion changed. At this point, the center of the well was empty but sounds and glowing light were coming from within. I stepped directly in front of the well and focused my energy into the center. Suddenly from the abyss, two hands sprang out and I jumped back. The entity that you see in the sculpture burst from the well. I moved forward and looked directly into its eyes. I was not scared. This was my reflection. My spirit is the well. I have the knowledge to transform the inside of my being and purge what is poison. I must purify the well from which I drink. The phantom dark figure is a mystery to me. What was in the book? Was it a book of incantations? Was the creature an evil spirit that was forced to remove a spell that had been cast on my soul? So many questions..."
When this artwork is purchased, the process of casting your piece goes into motion. The original ceramic model is fired in a kiln, and then the piece is delivered to the American Bronze Foundry in Florida, where a mold and bronze proof casting is made using the lost-wax method. Finally, David inspects the artist proof, has another one cast and then returns to the studio. This first cast will be number 1/8 of a limited edition run of 8.
Each museum quality piece will be signed, numbered, and a certificate of authenticity will be included.
Item ships in a crate or reinforced box. Ground shipping to USA 48 is included in price. Additional shipping options are available. Estimated standard production and delivery time is 6-8 weeks. Special requests are considered when time is of essence.
