"Opposable Thumb Device"

Wood Sculpture

Created by Mark Orr
Carved and painted wooden raven with steel legs on a found and modified wooden mannequin hand. The base is a vintage bowling pin with the top cut off and then turned upside down, the hand is mounted to this base with a 5/16" diameter steel rod.

The concept behind this piece is a play on the Leonardo Da Vinci Flying Machines. Orr imagined a very intelligent raven wishing for an opposable thumb device much as Da Vinci wished to be able to fly!

About this Artist

Mark Orr

"Taking my inspiration from traditional Native American cultures, I see my raven-crows as messengers who are able to travel and communicate freely between the physical and spritual realms."

Mark Orr is a lifelong artist and wood carver as well as a collector of vintage artifacts. Drawing inspiration from cultural history, Orr carves raven-crows to represent their historic role as messengers between realities and the couriers of change. Combining his carved raven-crows and the symbolic objects that humans seem compelled to collect, Mark Orr unites the message and the messenger.
