My work is generally life-size or even
larger, which makes it work so well when sited outdoors in gardens and
terraces. But I am asked if I have anything small, particularly by
those in Manhattan who do not have room for a ten foot giraffe in their
apartment! To simply miniaturize that giraffe, though, would imbalance
the clean lines that I strive for. As I thought and drew, a new style
emerged, which is equally uncluttered with details, but with the right
balance of detail to work with a small scale while still defining the
character of the animal. Thus, Basics emerged. And these were
instantly popular. The size makes them placeable inside any home or
apartment, though they are still durable enough to live outside on a
deck or balcony. They are easily shipped, unlike a five hundred pound
elephant! And they are affordable, ranging from $300 to $400, so they
can be gifts, or collected as multiples.
The Basic style has grown, at the request of
several people. "A little larger please?" So now I have a
Maxi-Basic... which is the Basic style, but proportionally taller.
