This is a giant stone head that was carved from a single block of Indiana Limestone. It weighs between 5,000 and 6,000 lbs. and measures 49" high x 46"front-to-back x 36" side-to-side.
This sculpture was inspired by the monolithic Olmec heads in Mesoamerica. This head has a specific identity of "Father Nature" and he has a worried look on his face.
Here, he rises from the ground, taking form from the earth and roots of trees. He is intended to have vines planted with him, so that he is wrapped in foliage - like the Strangler Figs that have encapsulated stone sculptures in Burma.
It sells for $14,000.00 FOB the studio in Stephensport, Kentucky. The artist will assist in the logistics of delivery and installation. This is a very large piece that will endure extremes of weather and human contact for generations, just like the ancient Olmec heads that are thousands of years old.
