Shaman

Artist

Erika Takacs

Description

Life-size bust based on and inspired by the Bad Dürrenberg shaman woman. Her 9,000 old burial site was found in Germany, along with an infant and various shamanistic tools and ornaments fashioned from various animal bones.
This was a long but fascinating journey for me in my quest to re-awaken and re-imagine an important member of an ancient community.
