A Loveland sculptor and U.S. Army veteran will soon reveal his progress on a sculpture that, once complete, will be an integral part of the Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Since 2018, Robert J. Eccleston had been working in his Loveland studio to construct two raptors — an eagle and a falcon — using a lost-wax process, which uses molten metal and molds. The raptors are part of the memorial's composition and will be installed along an inside curve.
Eccleston served as an Infantry CPT. in the U.S. Army and was assigned to the U.S. Army Mountain Warfare School, where he taught military mountaineering and survival skills to all branches of the military, according to his website. He studied sculpture in his spare time and decided to pursue it as a career in 1993.
"Ninety percent of the time, you have to go off of a photography, so to have. A live specimen in front of me — moving around, seeing the volume of the head, how the feathers lay — is invaluable because I can see that and commit to memory as well as take a photograph," he said.
