Jonathan Kingdon
Bear and Shaman symbolizes the uneasy juxtaposition of wilderness and people. The bear represents America’s vast spaces and the shaman alludes to humanity. Her tambourine standing for the protective role of technology. The surprise on their faces hints at the uncertainties facing man and beast, nature and civilization, as they try to adapt to each other.
The Bear and Shaman sculpture is made from bronze.
