Property of Private Collector, Bluffton, SC

Description:

Michael Naranjo (Santa Fe, NM, b. 1944) Bronze Crow, signed and number 14/33 near base. “Suddenly finding myself blind, and with minimal use of my right hand, I had to learn to depend on recall-of-images I remembered from when I could see. At times, there was a lot of trial and error involved in my creative process, but I was determined to find a way to work through my disability. I found that I couldn’t use tools because I couldn’t ‘see’ what the tools were doing, so I relied on my left hand to do the ‘seeing’ for me when I worked in clay or wax. These are the pieces I have cast into bronze. Over the years, my blindness has made me realize that, for me, the feeling of the piece becomes more important than intricate detail. My work is representational. The patina I choose for my bronzes is matte black, which has become my trademark, as this is the color I see.” – Michael Naranjo
