This sculpture is a mobile made of wire to be hung from the ceiling. It depicts a seagull in flight. I used to spend the summers in Ibiza where I used what was around me as a model for my work. I also made a sculpture of a cormorant which accompanied me when I went out in the canoe.
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.
