Bull Elk :: Emerging from the Spirit Series Bronze Sculpture The Elk is the second of the big game animals to come from the Emerging from Spirit Series. For me, it is an exploration about Pueblo People and the Ceremonies that give reverence to the Wildlife that became significant to our way of life. The incised images are similar to those found in my other works. There is the Angel (or Soul) that gives the Elk guidance symbolized by the segmented circle with the hoof print within it. The female and male energy are beside the symbol of the infinity of life. The Father Sun, Mother Moon and the Star of the Child are acknowledged. Lastly, the arrowhead to articulate the hunting relationship of Pueblo People and the Big Game within the land we inhabit. (Joe Cajero) |
