Talk about "cool." This bear is "way cool," being made of bits and pieces of colored glass and stone woven together to give him patterns, shadings, and textures.
Jane Kellogg is the artist. She's a woman who has inspired others to develop both technique and an artistic eye in the ancient arts.
I first fell in love with this form at the Bardo Museum in Tunis where a wealth of mosaics, dating from pre-Roman times delight the eye. But these ancient forms are restricted to flat surfaces.
This bear is three dimensional, allowing a play of light unknown to the ancient masters.
Jane's bear will be on display at the Park County Complex in Cody during the summer of 2008. For iinformation on how you could own him, email coordinator@grizgathering.com.
