Brown Goshawk "On the Lookout"

by Jake Mikoda

This bronze sculpture of a Brown Goshawk, created using the lost wax technique in my Tasmanian foundry, captures the bird’s fierce elegance and dynamic energy. The intricate casting process allows me to bring to life the raptor’s powerful form and natural grace, honoring both its spirit and the beauty of the wild. Through this piece, I aim to celebrate the connection between nature and art in a lasting, tangible way.
