This sculpture is a rounded form with protruding antlers, and a small mountain and tree framed on it’s crown. It has qualities of both an animal and environment.
Deer are resilient and gentle creatures. They make peace with the chaos of nature, predators, cars, and more. During the summer, the deer are considered to be, ‘in velvet,’ which refers to their fuzzy, growing antlers. Coincidentally, the same time of year we have a Buck Moon, a phase symbolic of growth, renewal and emergence.
In my own life transitions, periods of growth and grief, the deer has been a steady guide. It reminds me of my own quiet yet powerful resilience, and encourages me to harness the soft power of the deer.
