This cottonwood root carving was salvaged from a renovation site. It was labeled "Hopi Calako Taka" (Corn Man in the Hopi language) As an assemblage artist I was inspired by its shape and added my own personal story without compromising the original work. The iron nails in the headdress depict strength while the glass beads add tenderness to the subject. The intertwining vines protect the heart lovingly. Enjoy!
