Sculpture by Jack R. Montoya 2017. Epoxy, metal. Part of the “Amazonian Dream” series, this biomorphic abstraction is inspired by the ancient rituals of the native people of the northern Amazonas.

As part of the “Amazonian Dream” series, this is a modern art interpretation of ancient imagery found in petroglyphs, pictographs and pottery usually associated with the Arawak cultural group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5722bd967c65e48584eb79bb/1605798235250-BO6DVH7UZEIDEPW4J8NV/Web_Article008MessageFront.jpg Artwork Gallery - Message from Earth.
