The honey badger, or ratel, is a tenacious opportunist, hunter and scavenger. It will tackle poisonous snakes and beehives, and stand its ground against much larger predators, even lion. Honey badgers range across sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. For this limited edition sculpture in bronze, modelled at life-size, Nick sought to capture the fluid, rolling gait and bellicose demeanour of this most striking of creatures. Survivor is released in a limited edition of just 9 pieces.
Traditional bronze casting is a highly skilled and time consuming process. First Nick meticulously sculpts the animal in clay. A wax model is produced from the original sculpture and used to create a mould. A new wax model is required for each sculpture in the edition, as the wax is burned away in the casting process. Nick checks and refines each wax model personally. Large sculptures must be cast in sections and welded together. Once cast, the piece must be finished and patinated. Whilst expensive, bronze casting produces animal sculptures of wonderful depth and detail. These are true investment pieces to treasure and pass down through the generations.
