Elephant platter from the Vanishing Links series

  « Avery Anderson Glass Art's Gallery

(Fused / Slumped / Kiln Formed Glass Art)

Elephant platter from the Vanishing Links series "Vanishing Links" is my third major series and is devoted to the endangered species of the world, many of whom are on the verge of extinction, with the hope of bringing attention to their struggle for survival.

The center area features an original pen and ink drawing of a head study of an African Elephant. The four masks are interpretations of African designs from the west Africa region. Masks represent the faces of higher beings: of spirits, gods, and ancestors. An African textile pattern is located between the masks. The border herd of elephants and spears at the top and bottom represent the elephants struggle for survival due to illegal poaching.
