This cow bison was field harvested on the North Bridger Bison Ranch near Wilsall, MT. Painted with gouache, liquid charcoal and mica-infused water colors. Native Tree Swallows, Wild Iris and completing the cyclical aesthetic are Mayflies adorning the cheeks. The significant cracks at the top of the skull are reminders of the field harvesting process. The edges of the cracks are painted in the style of Japanese Kintsugi; highlighting the beauty in the imperfections.
