Redbird Moon

The Moonface Series is inspired by the serene face that shines on the surface of the luminous full moon. From ancient times, people have understood the cycles of the moon and how they affect life on earth, the ocean's tides, and our physical bodies. Redbird Moon is carved from found aspen. The head has a pattern of nails hammered in around the eyes. On the top of the head is a carved Northern Cardinal with a twig crown of carved leaves and a flower. The sculpture is delicately painted with iridescent acrylic and finished with wax. There's a hook on the back to hang it.
