Description
Amazing stone pot with deer bowl by Benjamin Thomas, Mohawk --Clan Seer. Gorgeous piece, polished so smooth it feels like metal.Benjamin Thomas is a talented sculptor of the Wolf Clan - Mohawk Nation ~ O yehn da de ka. His work honours the traditions of the Haudenosaunee, the People of the Longhouse. His sculptures are about ideas and his messages are political and cultural.
Thomas creates images that are compelling, very beautiful, and thought -provoking. He has lived his life in the traditions of his people and he has always been most conscious of the dilemna of native people living in two worlds. Ben has said that his ability to "make things", sometimes called"art", has provided an arena for expressing a unique way of looking at the world. Many people are unaware of issues affecting our world. It is important that there is understanding between those two worlds.
Benjamin Thomas has a very special gift. His sculpture is a gift, a spiritual communication of spirit. Ben's work is exhibited in museums, galleries and private collections in Canada, in the USA and in Europe.
His work has also been featured on the cover of the book,
"Carrying the Message: An Introduction to Iroquois Stone Sculpture" by Wolfgang Prudek.
