Icarus II Sculpture by Nicola Godden

Sculpture: Bronze on Bronze.

This is the boy figure of Icarus about to fly away to escape imprisonment. It is a life sized child figure. It was inspired by a trip to Greece soon after I learnt how to fly an aeroplane myself. It is one of eleven Icarus figures that I have created to date. The work was made in clay and then cast into bronze.
I cast in bronze because it has an amazing history of it's own that is as old as the myth.
