I wanted to show these two powerful and agile opponents entangled in a moment. They are briefly distracted but both firmly in control. In this fight between good and evil, as some lore may claim, they are worthy adversaries. My stylized work lends itself nicely to the designs on the body and feathers of the roadrunner, giving it an elegant and authoritative presence. The snake’s body wraps gracefully around the bird’s leg, providing the tangle and support for the sculpture.

John Maisano is fascinated by the artistic designs found in Celtic, African, Inuit and Tribal art which he incorporates into his sculptures. Each sculpture is inscribed with intricate designs derived from natural forms and structures. His sculptures range in size from treasures that can be held in the palm of one’s hand to larger-than-life monuments. His work focuses on graceful interpretations of animals shaped in a way that captures the life force of each animal and transforms it into something more.
