Taft Richardson was born in Zephyrhills, Florida. He passed away on November 30, 2008. Richardson made extraordinary bone sculptures. With patience and great spiritual thought he pieced together the cleaned bones of animals such as a bird, a house rat, a cat, and even a horse to create intricate, lyrical, and perfectly balanced figures of animals and people. He used a special mixture of crushed bone and glue to unite the sculpture with flawless seams. Taft said he never cut the bones because "Who can improve on God's work." Instead, he waited for just the right one to complete a piece. "Something must die first... though I never take a life." One sculpture could take him years to complete. Taft gave full credit to God for the creation of his work. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
