This is a 10” x 12” plaster casted linoblock ceramic featuring the Snowy Plover in the style of the 10 of cups Tarot card. Using kiln fired glass for the water elements with a mixture of glaze and enamel finish. Embeded into the clay body are strong hooks and thick picture wire, making it very capable of holding it’s own weight on the wall. The Snowy Plover has had difficulty breeding in their habitats on coastal waters because of disturbances from activities of humans and their animals as well as rising sea levels caused by the accelerated melting of land-ice which is rapidly transforming our coastlines. To summarize this card, the Ten of Cups, when pulled upright represents harmony within communal bonds, fulfillment, emotional stability and security. The combination of these two elements, the ten of cups and the western snowy plover exemplify a different trajectory for their future.
