This 3-dimensional sculpture is made out of wire. It depicts a seated dog holding a newspaper in his mouth. I have made several sculptures of my two dachshunds. My husband likes to read the paper sitting on the bed before he gets dressed in the morning but there was no longer room to put the paper on his bedside table so I made this dog sculpture!
About the time of the European crisis which hit Spain very hard, my professor of sculpture was moved from the clay sculpting to the studio for metal sculpting. I had had experience using wire and mesh, before, to make the armatures for my clay sculpting so I was accustomed to the material however I was fascinated with the cutting of iron plates with the blow torch and then the welding. I decided to make wire figures instead of bronze as it worked out more economical.
