‘LARGE STARGAZERS’ MAN AND DOG ON RING SCULPTURE
The ‘Large Stargazers Ring’ Man and Dog on Ring sculpture was a public sculpture commissioned by a US developer for their luxury 24-storey residential ‘M’ Building in Seattle. It is based on a smaller 80 centimetre tall stargazers sculpture, and was made so a person could walk through the 6 foot ring.
The stargazers ring was created to explore simple lines and elegant forms. It draws the viewer’s eye upwards to the figure and dog standing on the top of the ring to reflect their upward gazing pose. As with the small version, the piece was aiming to portray our collective experiences and the oneness between person and dog in a shared moment of peace and wonder at our magnificent world.
This bronze Large Stargazers Ring bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Large Stargazers sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
10% of the proceeds from this bronze sculpture support the 'The Dogs Trust', 'David Shepherd Wildlife Trust' and ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ charities.

Which Material to Choose
Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.
Foundry Bronze – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

This abstract Large Stargazers statue of a figure and dog on a ring is sculpted by the artist Tanya Russell, who is well known for her life-like wildlife and animal sculptures.

How The Sculpture Was Made
The ‘Large Stargazers’ Man and Dog on Ring sculpture was modelled in clay, over a steel and aluminium armature for support. After the ‘Large Stargazers’ Man and Dog on Ring statue was finished a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
