Pintail Trio
ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:
Philip has created a trio of Pintails in his lime wood sculpture. He has always been attracted to their grace and form and in this sculpture he has depicted quarrelsome drakes together with a pacifying hen calling for the discord to end. Philip remarks: “this serves as a metaphor for the convergence of countries in stemming the destruction of the natural world.”
