Destiny Dolphins Sculpture by Kitty Cantrell
Limited to 350
"Destiny", reminiscent of Cantrells earlier "Wave Dance", enters a new dimension as a single dolphin breaks through a Lucite wave. A total of 6 dolphins in this aquatic pod of dolphins. Genesis is an aquatic art collection with an emphasis on the embeddement of hot cast metals inside Lucite. Created in Mixed Mediathe harmonious blending of precious metals and actual hot-torched acid patinas combined with Lucite that add rich color and texturethe Genesis foundry is able to bring an artists vision to life. Now, all collectorsnot just a privileged fewcan enjoy the luxury of owning fine art.

Genesis originals arrive at the foundry in the form of plastiline - the result of the artists sculpting, and resculpting, soft clay. From these originals, first-generation models are created. Each sculpture is sectioned into a myriad of component parts and placed into molds for the creation of individual cavities.

Once these metals have solidified in the molds and are released, the component parts are welded together to form the final shape of the sculpture. Meticulous hand work with fine stainless steel tools recovers detail lost in the welding process. At that point, each original sculpture is bathed in hand-applied precious metals and various patinas. In finishing, the sculpture is hand-relieved with a combination of steel wool and sand to release the color and texture of the original metal form. In its final stages, the metal castings are embedded into the Lucite. Once the Lucite is baked and cured, its texture and visual appearance is very rough. Hours of painstaking hand polishing is then put into making the Lucite crystal clear. Lucite is a superior material to all acrylics and it does not tarnish like many others.
