Less than 5 in edition, please call for availability.In rock graphics Depicted by Stone Age Man we find a legacy, which belongs to all Mankind. They are found virtually on every continent. Some experts believe the animal imagery was done as a way of establishing a supernatural connection with the game early man hunted for his survival.As an inspiration to my own art, I feel I am not only helping to preserve these images, to which we still have a gut reaction to, but I am also giving them a contemporary vitality. If these images indeed speak to us from the past, I feel they sound the environmental message that humans have a sacred and interdependent relationship with mature that is crucial we do not forget.With our present technologies, our abilities to destroy have been magnified. The American Buffalo is a ?poster child? example of close we can come to making an entire species extinct. So this sculpture, inspired by the great ? Hall of Bulls? from, the Paleolithic caves, replaces the Bison antiques with the American Bison to underscore this point.
