This
is my take off of the Little Mermaid statue in Denmark- the soft
understated sensuality of a young female nude. I found my model for this sculpture,
dancing at a club late one night. The title was taken from an old Golden Earring
song about an exotic dancer, so I thought it fit.
I cast
this sculpture in resin, painted it with liquid copper, and sprayed it with a corrosive
material for the patina finish.
Presently,
she sits in front of my house surrounded by some beautiful azaleas.
