Limited Edition Bronze by Geoffrey C. Smith, 2025
13"l x 5"w x 17"h
 
With an elegant upright posture and impossibly slender legs, this black-necked stilt holds a quiet, watchful stillness. Sculpted as a part of Smith's Modern Collection, the piece captures the essence of the bird with minimalist lines and a strikingly smooth patina. The high-contrast finish, where deep black feathers meet a smoky silver body, draws the eye along its contours like a brushstroke in motion. Simplified yet powerful, the form embodies the purity of means.
