| "Nothing
expresses the essence of the American West like the bison, whose
herds once covered this land, so this is the animal I've chosen
for my first mask in the American Animals series. Today we can find
them in small herds scattered throughout the west, protected by
the government or owned by private individuals. This magnificent
bull was ruler of such a small private herd in Montana, not far
from Glacier National Park, where I spent hours on the back of a
pick-up truck sculpting his magnificent head. The huge head, made
even more formidable by the ample top-not and beard, so overpowers
the slender hind quarters, it almost makes one wonder if the rest
of the body is needed at all." - Rosetta |
