Limited Edition Bronze by Geoffrey C. Smith, 2025
10.75"l x 5"w x 14"h
 
Bending delicately to feed, this black-necked stilt is frozen in mid-motion, its needle-thin beak reaching toward the water. The posture is intimate and alive, a fleeting moment made permanent in bronze. Crafted as a part of Smith's Modern Collection, the sculpture foregoes detailed feathers in favor of graceful, fluid planes, allowing the deep patina to evoke depth and movement.
