Stock Split is a bronze sculpture that captures the profound duality of birth on the ranch. The title draws from the financial term—when an investment splits and multiplies in value—mirroring the rancher's perspective as a mother cow gives birth, doubling the herd and increasing profit. Yet this piece reveals a deeper truth: what represents gain for one is a moment of raw vulnerability for another. The sculpture freezes this intimate, primal moment, inviting viewers to witness the cow's experience beyond its economic value. Through careful attention to form and detail, the work asks us to consider whose perspective we take when we witness transformation. Cast in bronze, this piece honors both the strength and fragility inherent in creation, challenging us to see beyond transactional relationships with the natural world. dimensions: 24" x 7" x 15" cast bronze, gold leaf 2014
