As an artist, I have spent 30 years crafting jewellery—transforming metal into intricate forms—but my passion ceramic sculpture has bloomed since covid. In my collection \u003cb\u003e\"The Ascended Herd: Escaping the Earthly Plane,\"\u003c\/b\u003e I reimagine the majestic creatures of Africa not as bound to the earth, but as celestial beings breaking free from gravity itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese sculptures are not just dreamlike visions but reflections on reality. Many of Africa’s great animals—face the looming threat of extinction. Poaching, habitat destruction, and climate change are erasing them from the landscapes they have roamed for millennia. In my work, I ask: \u003ci\u003eWhat if evolution found another path?\u003c\/i\u003e If survival on land becomes impossible, perhaps these creatures would transcend, growing wings to escape into the sky, migrating beyond human reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by figurative art, African heritage, and a twist of fantasy, my sculptures embody the tension between loss and hope, reality and mythology. They represent freedom, resilience, and the ever-present struggle to adapt. Through clay, I aim to give movement to stillness, to capture the echo of hooves against the sky, and to tell stories of creatures no longer bound by earth, but transformed in the pursuit of survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethis piece  is expertly crafted from stoneware clay and meticulously finished with a beautiful blue black snowflake glaze, and 24ct gold lustre,  this \u003c\/span\u003e winged creature  is the perfect sculpture for whimsical and quirky home decor lovers, and is sure to spark conversations and bring a touch of magic and fun to any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"115\" data-end=\"510\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003esize:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight 10.5cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength 10cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth 5cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"115\" data-end=\"510\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2401\" data-end=\"2450\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45080152637640,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/3743\/3800\/files\/IMG_3339.jpg?v=1778384192","url":"https:\/\/liargenton.com\/products\/winged-standing-baby-elephant","provider":"Li Argenton ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
