Desert Totem
$850.00
An artist casts a limited series of pieces and is called “artist proofs.” Two Totem pieces with a distinct desert color palette remain. They feature shades of blue-green, yellow, pink, green, and orange-red. A combination of wood and cast resin forms the base for the 24″ cast resin succulent. My recent sculptures also incorporate a volcanic “molcajete” as their base.” casting can be stacked with bases of wood, stone, steel, and resin. The stacking can add an additional 12″ to the work. A molcajete adds a timeless barrier, something from the past mixed with today’s realities.

Description
Plants connect the concept of storing water through their shape, which acts both as a vessel of storing water and light. Desert plants develop methods to capture and store the limited moisture available. Their “vessel” shape often appears sharp and spiky, reflecting their evolutionary journey and survival strategy.
A totem is a spirit being, sacred object, or symbol that serves as an emblem of a group of people, such as a family, clan, lineage, or tribe. As a result, Spirit beings are considered to be guardians. The angel Uriel is said to stand sentry to the gates of Eden.

Bulbous protrusions dot the length of the Totem succulent’s skin. These sinewy shapes channel moisture directly to the roots.
