Perched on a pedestal, Bernadette is at first glance an owl carved in beige marble with its head turned 180 degrees around to face its back—a feat impossible for most creatures. In Julia Scher’s imagination however, the form of the owl is not strictly bird-like, the stance and legs are modeled on those of humans, specifically of men, while the imposing shoulders and brow are of human and horse origins. Even the owl’s coat is a mix of feathers and hair.
