For two years I have been thinking about making a large-scale sculptoric group. I´d like to contrast shapes, materials, concepts…
The group would be composed of an otter, made of wood or bronze and a pike, made of sheet; both of them surrounded by aquatic plants and framed within my characteristic rectangles.

Nowadays I have the time and space needed to approach the project. I don´t know when it will be finished but I have already made the head of the pike… I have to think out the movement of its body and study the pose of the otter. There is still a lot of work to be done. I´ll show you my progress.
