This dragon sculpture was made by
David
Hyde by
welding small
pieces of bronze and
stainless
steel together. David developed special welding techniques
to create the wide range of textures and tones seen throughout her skin.
The intense heat used to fuse and subtly blend the different metals together
created many new alloys with colours varying from bronze to silver to
gold, with many shades in between. This variety was emphasised by the
deep polish given
to the metals. Richly coloured garnet gemstones were used to bring life
and expression to her eyes.
This sculpture is truely unique and individual in so many ways; no two
dragons David makes will ever be the same. However, this one also contains
a secret message. This dragon was specially commissioned as a gift to
someone and has the message "I
love you" to her owner inside her body. You can see some of the making of this
sculpture and the message inside her
on
this page.
