The series comprises eight small scale polychromed terracotta busts mounted on sandstone plinths. They explore the ancient and deeply felt connection between nature and the human spirit, the headdress being a motif to imply attributes of this spiritual connection. The sculpture draws on influences which include English medieval imagery, Mayan and Aztec terracotta sculpture and central African and Ancient Egyptian sculpture.
