The Visions
These bronze sculptures go around the base of the larger piece. They tell the story of the work and represent each of the visions along with a name plate and a signature plate for the piece. Of all the work I've done, this is one I am especially pleased with. There is a lot of "meat" in this piece which makes it perfect for the collector who values work with a significant story to tell.
From the title plate "Vision Seekers" move left to right around the base of the sculpture.
Vision One: The buffalo is our life. Without the buffalo our way and life is no more. We are part buffalo. The buffalo is part of us. If an enemy destroys the buffalo, he destroys us.
Vision Two: Your first child will be as you. The mighty eagle will darken the sky with his wings. He will snatch the boy in his beak and carry him to the sun and return to be his protector in life.
Vision Three: You will be a brave warrior and leader. You must never attack an enemy with your face into the sun or you will become blind and then die.
Signature Plate: Sioux bow and quiver, moccasins, signature of sculptor and issue data.
Vision Four: Beware of a woman with the nose of a raven, hair of a bear and a mouth that speaks in flames of evil. Do not look into her eye or the serpent will capture you forever.
Vision Five: The great bear that came on the day of your birth, now comes again. His spirit will put down your enemies and hold you, protected, high in his hand.
Vision Six: Take the fox as your guide and helper. His cunning is your cunning. In one hand be prepared for war and in the other be cunning in the ways of peace.
May the "Great Spirit" grant your visions and give you peace.
