Gulfstream

Mixed media art object / poseable art doll of a dragon-like creature named Gulfstream.

“At first glance, he may seem cold and stern, but there is a warmth to the Gulfstream that is easy to miss. Like the distant shores his namesake current passes by, he has traveled far and wide, carrying a little piece of every place with him – plants, crystals, feathers.

He is never quite still, always moving with the restless energy of a magpie in flight. Like water, he slips effortlessly into any shape, bending and adapting without ever losing himself.

Can you hear the distant rumble of waves in his voice? And when he looks at you, can you feel the swift, restless pull of the sea in his eyes?”

Materials: polymer clay, acrylic paints, faux fur, magpie wings, wire armature, synthetic padding.
