Before leaving the Heard Museum last Saturday, I made a pass through the gift shop. To me, the gift shop is like going into another gallery because of the many beautiful things there to see.
I found another new sculpture by the artist I've mentioned several times before, Roxanne Swentzell. This one is called "What's Precious". I love the expression on this little lady's face as she peers into the palm of her hand and something "precious" inside.
I've posted so many of Roxanne's work on this blog that I decided to create a label to identify the posts containing her work. If you want to see other posts, click the label below of "Swentzell".
While I was searching my photos to find all the "Swentzell" photos to put the label on, I came a cross an old photo that never made it onto the blog. This is another Roxanne Swentzell sculpture called "Emergence of the Clowns" that I photographed in 2017. This sculpture represents the ascendance of the Pueblo People into this world. The Koshare or Sacred Clowns are remembering the migration of the First People.
Just one more wonderful sculpture to add to my collection of photos of her wonderful artwork.

That first piece is very nice.
Sweet Bear collects small precious things, I didn't see what I am always looking for so I asked, and sure enough there was one, just one in the shop. A small precious gift for a special occasion.
My parents had some Koshare in their collection. One of my brothers has them.
I like her work, Sharon.
Wow, very interesting work. I love the clowns, even though -- like all clowns -- they're a little creepy.
