“High Plains Drifter”

Bronze Bison Sculpture

The bison, for John Maisano, wasn’t so much of a story as it was a feeling. He wanted to convey the ancient wisdom of the animal, and spiritual significance, by the use of the designs on the belly. Swirling designs intertwining with each other represent it’s life through the ages as it roamed the plains and provided so much for the Native Americans. With the pose he wanted to capture its majesty and power, standing firm and solid overlooking the high plains, head held high and gazing into an endless future.
