This simple white stone sculpture of a sleeping bird is by Minnesota artist, Richards Poey. It is signed and dated 2004. It is affixed to the metal base by strong screws. Poey has worked in bronze and stone for over 20 years and his work has been exhibited throughout the Twin Cities. "In creating a stone piece, I mostly use the tools that have been used for thousands of years—hammer and various shaped chisels. Sometimes I use pneumatic power tools to rough out the design, but the detailed work has to be done using hand tools. Once polished, the piece is waxed." Sculpture measures:12" x 5".  Metal base measures: 15" x 7".  The piece is in very good condition. Please view all photos for more details.
