THE LEGEND RESTS
BRONZE SCULPTURE #30/62
By Rip Caswell
Rip Caswell is well-known in the Pacifi c Northwest for
his bronze sculptures and monuments. Wild animals,
religious fi gures, Native American spirits, and busts of
local heroes renew his connection to innocence and
simplicity. Interested in art from an early age, Caswell
began making animals out of clay as a child then
dove into taxidermy. He studied under Bill Lancaster
in Beavercreek, Oregon, and they began working
together in 1985. As a team, Lancaster and Caswell won
every award for taxidermy in the Northwest Regional
Taxidermy competition in 1998 and 1999. Caswell’s
creative versatility led him to bronze and the lost-wax
process of casting in 1992, which allowed him to
maintain a high degree of detail enhanced by patina
coloring and a descriptive base that placed his animals
and fi gures in nature. His animals are often in resting
positions or at the peak of their animalistic character in
the wild—they stalk, wander, or nuzzle their mates, the
kings and queens of their domain. Caswell extracts the
purity of nature and represents his subjects’ souls, be it
man or beast.
