So the P4 bird (and on the catalog page, the P1 figures for another example) is a fine example of a DRAWING having taken the shape of a CARVING - much like some of the the later Witco carvings that seem oddly "wrong" as 3D sculptures - BECAUSE they were 2D drawings simply "retraced" with a chainsaw.
