A commissioned sculptural portrait of Chief RedWolf, carved at 65% of life size. The head is sea-foam Guatemalan jadeite; the headdress is a bronze casting, patinated, of a rare scalloped tree fungus; the base is Wyoming nephrite with the rind left on, over a sub-base of black marble.
The artist writes that artists often speak of the essence they attempt to capture, particularly when working with human subjects, and describes it as an energetic resonance, ageless and timeless, that exists beyond the surface reality; the sculptural form is the visible final outcome, and also the means through which that transcendental mystery is displayed and interpreted.
Materials: sea-foam Guatemalan jadeite, patinated bronze, Wyoming nephrite, black marble
Dimensions: 30 × 33 × 16 cm (height × width × depth)
In private collection.
