In the Pothead sculpture, Jan Huling created a mesmerizing skin for this little fawn whose large, tilted head is a teapot. The tassel, symbols and butterfly add to the magic and mystery of this artwork.
Allie Farlowe wrote an article about Jan Huling and Pothead. Below is an excerpt.
Jan Huling is known for her meticulous use of seed beads which she applies in intricate patterns on a range of three-dimensional forms. These forms are objects from everyday life, such as a doll or a plastic toy, but once they are covered with beads, they are transformed. Inspired by indigenous art, mythologies, and pop culture, her swirling hypnotic surfaces often remind us of the fantastical creatures found in childhood fairytales.
