Beautiful Likeness of a Unique Duck
In 2018 a Mandarin duck appeared in Central Park, New York seemingly out of nowhere. That sparked my fascination with this duck. I was surprised and pleased to find this sculpture years later and was able to "capture" my own Mandarin duck. I love the sculpture and the incredible attention to detail and the realistic faithfulness to the duck. Okay, the real duck looks a little like a toy as well, but I am thrilled to have another sculpture by Nengah Sudarsana, and this one joins my small flock of ducks by him. Perhaps I'll take it to the lake in Central Park and see if another real one will show up to keep mine company.
A kiss to say, 'I love you'
Wayan, I'm back again to celebrate this beautiful sculpture that I gave to my sister and her husband. Unique in its expression of the kiss. My sister has overcome alcoholism, two bad marriages but now this long third marriage has overcome so many obstacles and throughout the years and they are still together. You, Wayan, are a master for expressing relationship. I so love your work. And your finishes are done so well. In addition, your use of black is so expressive with this piece: the eye flows up to the "The Kiss." Bravo.
