Sculpture
Merran’s current focus is sculpture. Giving permanence in bronze to ephemeral ocean life.
“Bronze carries a sense of permanence. I love the long history and challenges of the process. I translate my ideas from drawing to wax and then into a metal form. There’s something deeply satisfying about knowing that my work, once cast, becomes part of a tradition stretching back centuries.”
Drawing
Each piece begins with sketching ideas.
Wax Sculpture
Then the two-dimensional design is sculpted in wax.
Bronze Casting
The patina accentuates the details in the bronze sculpture.
