This sculpture was completed in 2022 in polymer clay. Molds were created in July 2022 and a single AP was cast in August 2022 for submission to the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial's 100th Anniversary Art Show where it won a 1st place ribbon in sculpture for Gorman.

​

Each sculpture is paired with a handmade base by Vincent Lauricella and filled with sand from near Gallup, NM where Gorman grew up.

​

The red sand in the base gives each sculpture an authentic look and feel of the red desert floors of Canyon de Chelly.

​

Each bronze was made using a lost-wax casting technique. Gorman hand-detailed each wax figurine for casting. Acclaimed sculptor, Huberto Meastas of San Luis, cast the final bronzes and assisted with applying the final patina as directed by Gorman.
