Spirit Bear with Fish

"Bears are made of the same dust as we, and breath the same winds and drink of the same waters" John Muir As a Totem for our times this Spirit Bear encourages slowing down in a fast-paced world, representing protection of the natural world and it's ecosystems, and fostering peace over conflict. This bear has experienced much adversity and still... he's face remains serene. Hand-built in premium sanded buff, the texture was achieved using a variety of mark making and strokes using coloured slips, oxides, Shino glaze and gold lustre.
