Monumental and elegant ceramic sculpture, depicts large rounded triangular form of seated Native American Mother cradling her child and has an intentionally distressed finish with felted base. "Acoma" is the name of the collection of Southwest sculptures designed by Austin's Art Director, Pamela Pierce. "Strongly influenced by the geometric patterns of the Native Americans, especially the Pueblo Nation, Ms. Pierce instills her subjects with the sensitivity and integrity that is part of the fascination with the American Southwest. Her works are in many private collections." It is in it's original condition, with little to no wear. I just gave it a light cleaning and she looks fantastic. Comes with a copy of the original sculpture card as pictured.

This fantastic huge and heavy Austin Durastone sculpture Durastone is a special formulation of crushed stone mixed in a slurry, hand-cast and hand-finished.

I have been working on a passion project that involves purchasing sculptures from various sources and with varying degrees of damage. It has been a labor of love with countless hours and loads of hard work. My goal is to restore these pieces back to their original grandeur, sometimes with an updated color palate when appropriate. I hope to not only keep another artist’s masterpiece living on for a few more decades, but to introduce the next generation to sculptures as home décor that may otherwise end up in our landfills.

Sculptures are not just art; they are three-dimensional stories that invoke many feelings and memories. Thank you for looking at my collection of restored treasures and I hope you find one that tells your story.
