Otto - The Owl

One vision. One creation. One of one. - Zeekollection

Slices of a New Dimension from ZeeKollection builds solid forms out of flat ones. Thin profiles cut from sheet metal are lined up side by side, slice after slice, until a flat outline becomes a full sculpture you can walk around.

Otto the Owl stands upright on strong, spread talons, his round body built from a row of flat, curving slices. Small metal pins hold each slice a short distance from the next, leaving thin gaps of light between them. A separate slice forms his folded wing, with feather shapes cut into it, and two small ear tufts rise from the top of his head. From the front he looks like a solid, round owl. From the side he opens into layers, like pages in a book. Owls have long stood for wisdom and patience, and Otto wears both well: still, upright and quietly taking everything in.

A study in dimension, wisdom, and the patient watchfulness of a bird who sees it all.
