Pronghorn Antelope :: Emerging from the Spirit Series

Bronze Sculpture
Edition of 30

The Pronghorn Antelope is the beginning of the Emerging from Spirit Series. This is an exploration of the relationship between Pueblo People, wildlife and the ceremonies that honor them.

The Antelope has images carved onto his body. The circles increasing in size represents the evolution of the Antelopes' Soul. On the other shoulder blade is a segmented circle; this represents the Soul that gives guidance during the experience of its lifetime. On the hindquarter are the Moon, the Star, and the Sun. We can draw the analogy of the Moon representing the Mother, the Star; the Child, and the Sun; the Father. Lastly, an arrowhead on the other hindquarter represents the Pueblo’s hunters.
