My goal is to experiment with new materials however I am starting with one I am very familiar with - bailing wire. My subject the German beak - trumpeter pigeon. He is graceful, interesting and conducive to expressing energy. Picasso called him a the peace dove. 

The finished product- he is strutting. When the jerk their heads way back then stick it way out when then they walk. 

Below are photos of how the piece progressed
