The
first of four castings of the full size 13' tall Guardian of the Reef bronze
sculptures by Simon Morris was installed at Divetech's
Lighthouse Point in West Bay, Grand
Cayman on April 12 2014.
Simon
is the creator of the well known bronze mermaids "Amphitrite" at
Sunset Divers in Grand Cayman and "The Emerald Princess" in Powell
River, British Columbia.
The
9' tall mermaid was recreated in three scaled limited editions in 2001, and now
the Guardian of the Reef will be released in 1/3, 1/6, and 1/12 scale bronze.
The
1/6 and 1/12 scale castings are now available for pre-order.
Advanced
laser digital scanning of the original 13’ tall sculpture combined with Stereo
Lithography 3D reproduction technology creates accurate and detailed finished
bronze sculptures that are faithful to the original.
The
illustrations below are coloured
renderings of the digital scan output.
The 3D figures will be hand detailed by the sculptor. The bronze pillar has not
been aged yet, and will have sculpted marine life – sponges, coral etc., added
to the originals in each size before the mould are made for lost wax casting.
Both
pieces will be mounted on a Travertine base
