Healing Circle is inspired by my interest in shamanism and experiences attending ceremonial healing circles with initiated shamanic healers, I decided to create a series of small, 4x4 inch, sculptures from clay and arrange them into a circle in order to represent the powerful healing event. I then poured a red stain over the heads of each figure so to symbolize the shared emotional and transformational experiences taking place for each individual. It is my intent to evoke ideas of primal energy and the event of an immersion, especially through water.
