Healing and Rebirth Series - Featuring "Guardian," "Defender," and "Protector" by Barbara Liss.
“Guardian” features an ouroboros, an ancient symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail it symbolizes wholeness and infinity.
”Defender” is a Greek verb meaning “to guard or protect.” We all need a guardian right now to keep us safe and healthy.
“Protector “ pays homage to all the people in the medical field and the sacrifices they are making for the care of so many.
This sculpture features the oldest symbol of medical care from Greek mythology, a snake-entwined staff, known as the Rod of Asclepius. This is named for Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing. Snakes represent healing and rebirth.
The hanger on the back makes it easy to hang on a building or inside your home or office wherever they gives you inspiration.
Every concrete face is hand sculpted by Barbara Liss in the Montana Bliss Artworks studio. After the sculpting is complete, the piece is wrapped to slow cure for up to 30 days to prevent cracking. Midway through the cure process the piece is unwrapped to finish the edges and surface. Then it is wrapped again to finish the cure process.
When the cure is finished the hanger is added which takes 2 days for glue to properly cure to hold the wait of the piece. It is then photographed to be presented to you.
