Jeri was created by the Canadian sculptor, James Stewart. He employs the “cire perdue” method. This is the lost wax technique that dates back to the times of ancient Greece. The figure is sculpted with oil-based clay. A mould is then made from the finished piece to be cast in bronze. A patina is hand-applied at the final step at each stage of the work. An “edition” of nine is created for each of Stewart’s sculptures and then he oversees the destruction of the mould. Only the finest of foundries is used to cast the mould in bronze: Artworks in Berkeley, California, which excels in “lost wax casting.”- from The Source Forum of Diversity.
"Jeri, crouching here,reposes after performing as a Capoeria dancer-fighter. His body is alive yet satiated, balanced before he springs again."- A plaque by the sculpture.
