I had been toying with the idea of combining silver into a bronze and decided that this would be the ideal piece. I cast the chest in silver, surrounding it in a rich russet-colour bronze which emphasises the silver. The second novel idea was to use a polyurethane resin as a base for the bronze. This simulates water, giving both a wonderful reflection and refraction.’ Robert Leggat (2016) African Jacana (Actophilornis Africanus) [Online], Available: http://www. robertleggat.co.za/sculpture/sculptures/birds/ medium-birds/african-jacana/ [28 August 2016]. 520 519 202
