Combining welded elements formed from upcycled silver-plated flatware and cutlery, the piece exemplifies the modernist assemblage aesthetic popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The elongated, sweeping neck and geometric spoon-and-fork construction give the bird an elegant, sculptural silhouette.

The sculpture stands gracefully on its original dark-stained square wooden block base, stamped with the authentic debossed cursive "Lima" workshop mark across the top. A highly collectible piece for collectors of mid-century modern, brutalist, or coastal modern art.
