Ernesto the Sommelier
2011
24" tall, 9" wide and 11" deep
Body is composed of mottled solder over an armature covered in copper foil, with patinas of copper and black applied.\u160 The features are kiln formed glass.
At an anniversary dinner Ernesto was our wine steward, and recommended a great choice.\u160 Drinking only half the bottle, I asked Ernesto to take the remainder back for the kitchen staff who, in turn, surprised us with a complementary and totally decadent chocolate mouse.\u160 Always fond memories of Ernesto, our mustachioed sommelier with the beaming smile.
