Description

Cast by hand in the Wild Goose Studio, Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland. This William Blake quotation "Imagination is Evidence of the Divine" wall plaque has an outer shell of pure bronze with an inner core of cast resin material for stability. Each Wild Goose piece is made entirely by hand, with no two being exactly alike.

Since ancient times, bronze has been a highly prized metal for the making of tools, jewelry and statues. It is an alloy of copper, which was first mined in Ireland over 4000 years ago. Left to weather, it will acquire a green patina; polished it will shine like gold.

"Imagination is evidence of the Divine" is a quote from William Blake (1757-1827), a visionary craftsman who mastered poetry, painting and engraving. His radical genius was an inspired contrast to the prevailing scientific rationalism of his time.

Approximately 9 inches wide, 5.5 inches high, and 3/8 inch thick.
