In this piece David Hibler masterfully captures the precise moment that a Great Horned Owl grasps a shy cottontail in its talons. One does not need much of an imagination to see the next motion of the owls wings as it moves forward lifting the rabbit into the air. This piece not only captures a still shot of this act of nature but also acts as a film reel in the viewers mind. David pushes boundaries with the painstaking detail that he sculpted into every last feather of this silent killer. He also pushes the boundary of sculpture & casting with the life like thinness of the owls wings. These details are what separates David’s art work from all the rest!
