“Awakening Buck is something of a self portrait. Timothy went through some serious and life threatening medical issues in 2012. After almost dying, there was a long recovery and process of coming back to life again. Awakening Buck is his depiction of that process. Here is a young buck in velvet. It is unfurling as an opening leaf or bud in spring after a long winter. Many botanical elements have been blended into the biological creature to enhance this idea: the hooves have been made to look like shoots, the ears like fresh young leaves, and the antlers like growing vines.
Originally, this was to be a “bookend” piece for Dying Ibex. However, the piece took on it`s own life and could not be confined to the exact matching dimensions of Dying Ibex. The antlers in particular demanded growth outside of the confines of Ibex dimensions. The body design is quite similar but a mirror image. Conceptually it is a mirror of Dying Ibex as well. Dying Ibex is about the transition of the mortal back to spirit (death) ; Awakening Buck the transition of spirit of newness to life.
There is an alternate patina offered. There is one shot of this version on the site. It was the first version, but it was not how Timothy envisioned the piece in his mind`s eye. After it was in his galleries for a few months, he did a new version on a different cast of the edition, which he liked very much. He was going to withdraw the first, but too many people favoured that one. Since then, the vote has been split down the middle, so it`s a rare occasion where he offers both.

- The ArtParkS Guarantee
All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee of 10 years, subject to the effects of weathering, which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them regular cleaning and maintenance.
For instance, bronze, and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze, will acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish pollen, especially under trees, which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing-up liquid.
Iron and steel will oxidise (rust), and this falls outside our guarantee.
Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.
- How Does ArtParkS Ensure Your Protection?
From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS, you are protected because half of the payment is immediately used to pay the artist’s deposit, while the other half is retained until the sculpture is delivered safely.
