In the
sculptor's words...
Fafnir, Smaug, Vermathrax - all
names of fearsome power and awesome terror. Scourge of virgins and avowed enemy of valiant
heroes. St. George, Sigfried, Bilbo Baggins and many armchair warriors who have entered
the magic realm through the printed page have faced the winged menace of the firebreathing
worms of the dark kingdom. "Abduction" depicts the capture of a feisty but
hopelessly outmatched princess by a firebreathing dragon.
This sculpture hangs by a wire
connected at the top of the wing. |
