Sculpture anyone? Harkrader's 'Zodiac Queen' with delicate feather wings stands tall on her throne of wooden bowl, porcelain knob, metal ring, silver spoon, blue glass, glass eye and surrounded by a halo composition from an antique pastry cutter. Lion is a symbol of constellation, sign of zodiac, symbol of sun gods, Bali funeral sarcophagus and a core in Babylonian artwork. Venice, Italy is known as the “City of Lions”. Lions were used for thousands of years in mostly religious contexts of Christianity, Celtic, and Gospel of Mark. Winged lions may represent the Divine (angels) and denote strength, aggression, and power. Harkrader experimented with multiple composition possibilities before assembling this found object sculpture. (10"x6"x6")
