The bird's persistence, tireless according to Bryant, shaped the sculpture's pose, wings held mid-beat, head angled down toward the ground she's scanning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resin surface picks up the fine feather detail across the face and breast that made the owl visible in the fading light, then indistinct as the evening darkened around her. It's a piece built as much around light and disappearance as it is around the bird itself, and it rewards a spot where evening shadow can play across the surface. Barn owls hunt mostly by sound rather than sight, which explains the tilted head Bryant has built into the pose, listening as much as watching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHunting Owl is part of '\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benguelacove.co.za\/pages\/carol-bryant-sculpture-artist-exhibition\" title=\"Where the wild things come to rest\"\u003eWhere the wild things come to rest\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e', Carol Bryant's exhibition at Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate, on show from 2 October 2026 to 31 March 2027.
