I have been working on the theme of hybrids for some time now. I find the contrast of perceptions between human and animal figures to be very intreresting. We equate deer with wisdom, strength, and fortitude. On the contrary, we often associate the feminine with niavite, weakness, and fickleness. I purposefully left this sculpture ambiguous as to whether she is wearing a mask, associating herself with a literary figure, or not. I hope this answers some of your questions and also leaves room for your own interpretaion. Thank you for the interest.
I see that you are from the UP, what sort of metal work do you do?
Frank, I have been working
