Dan West's bronze herons, "Big Blue Heron" and "Hunkered Heron," welcome visitors to the UMaine Memorial Union lobby

The best of form to my eyes is found in the natural world: all living things, animal or vegetable, have evolved to survive and thrive and, in the process, perfect form. I focus primarily on fish and saltwater birds, and an occasional land creature as well; as much as possible I work with driftwood and other found materials to keep close to nature. As I sculpt a piece, I strive to retain as much of the original form and surface as I can and let the object speak for itself. Hopefully, the result is a work retaining "wildness" in which the origin of the material is recognizable. Releasing a creature from nature is my best chance to create a significant sculpture.
​~ Dan West
Dan was the Sculptor-in-Residence at UMaine in the fall of 2018 as part of the Littlefield Gallery Sculptor-in-Residence Series. Two of his Bronze hunkered herons are on permanent display at the University of Maine.
