A new collaboration with Fred Virdeh
Metal: Terry Kreiter Wood: Fred Virdeh
This project is a homage to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and is based on his painting: The Triumph of Death c. 1562
Precisely, it's based on a small area of the painting on the top left

Note: The collaborations between Fred and I always end with two unique, yet very similar sculptures. We make the individual parts in duplicate, keeping the dimensions, surfaces and details as close as possible to one another.
