Winged White Bison, ready to fly This winged white bison embodies a rare and sacred presence, inspired by the powerful symbolism held within many Native American traditions. The white bison is a symbol of hope, peace, renewal, and unity—a reminder of our connection to all living things and the responsibility to care for the Earth. With the addition of wings, this form moves beyond the physical into the spiritual realm, becoming a messenger between worlds. It carries the essence of transformation and higher awareness, echoing ancient stories of prophecy and harmony restored. Both grounded and ethereal, the piece reflects strength, protection, and grace. It invites a moment of reflection—on nature, on spirit, and on the delicate balance that connects us all. This collection explores the intersection of earth and sky, the tethered and the untethered, the real and the mythical. As an artist, I have spent 30 years crafting jewellery—transforming metal into intricate forms—but my passion ceramic sculpture has bloomed since covid. In my collection "The Ascended Herd: Escaping the Earthly Plane," I reimagine the majestic creatures of Africa not as bound to the earth, but as celestial beings breaking free from gravity itself. These sculptures are not just dreamlike visions but reflections on reality. Many of Africa’s great animals—face the looming threat of extinction. Poaching, habitat destruction, and climate change are erasing them from the landscapes they have roamed for millennia. In my work, I ask: What if evolution found another path? If survival on land becomes impossible, perhaps these creatures would transcend, growing wings to escape into the sky, migrating beyond human reach. Inspired by figurative art, African heritage, and a twist of fantasy, my sculpture embodies the tension between loss and hope, reality and mythology. They represent freedom, resilience, and the ever-present struggle to adapt. Through clay, I aim to give movement to stillness, to capture the echo of hooves against the sky, and to tell stories of creatures no longer bound by earth, but transformed in the pursuit of survival. this piece is expertly crafted from stoneware clay and meticulously hand painted with underglaze, and clear matte and gloss glaze, this winged creature is the perfect sculpture for whimsical and quirky home decor lovers, and is sure to spark conversations and bring a touch of magic and fun to any room. approximate sizeHeight 19cmLength 19cm Width 8cm Made from Stoneware clay, finished with a underglaze, clear glaze.
