Jason takes flight…..

Jason Napier reaches new heights....

Whenever I see one of islander Jason Napier’s bronze sculptures, I always think: “Wow! That’s lifelike! That’s shiny! That’s got an emotional element! How does he do that?”

I think stuff like that.

But now, with his new piece, I think: “That’s big! That’s huge! AND all that other stuff!” His new piece (click here to see all the angles – very impressive) has just been mounted in Michigan, and is a wonderful addition to his already amazing portfolio. Here’s a bit more about the sculpture:

“Water Jockeys” – Swan Monument (6.5ft tall x 7ft wide x 11ft long)

“Water Jockeys” took nearly a year to complete and to date is Jason’s largest piece ever created.

These two “life and a half” sized Swans, weigh in at about 2200 pounds with stainless steel supporting armature throughout the inside and are cast in 70 different sections. This gorgeous monument was just installed at a private residence in Romeo, Michigan. The customer provided a truly spectacular setting… placed in a 150 foot long reflection pond with an 7ft x 32ft long curved cascading water wall, underwater lighting and, of course, massive landscaping!

The bronze sculpture overlooks the reflecting pool....
