Scott’s Piece Description
He’s prepared a fire, blessed the sage and cleansed his mind through fasting. This “Crow Shaman” has created an atmosphere conducive to receiving inspiration. He’s wearing an eagle feather headdress that’s been passed down for generations. Even though it has been repaired numerous times, it’s held as invaluable for use in ceremonies. Often there would be a small fire in which to place herbs or sage. With his eagle feather fan he wafts smoke up and about. He calls out to the Great Spirit for guidance.
Spirituality is a personal thing. Even when in the presence of others, it is experienced “within”…that divine moment when one connects with higher power. I have found that people lean towards acquiring art that depicts a spiritual nature – works that tap into inner realms.
Is there an attempt – through prayer – to connect with Deity. What if we sought that divine connection when we dealt with our fellowman? Could a business transaction be a form of prayer? Is it possible that “How I treat my fellowman is a reflection of my relationship with God?”
Curator Review
Though smaller in scale, the maquette version of Crow Shaman loses none of its spiritual gravity. In fact, the intimacy of its size enhances the sense of personal connection—it feels less like a figure on display and more like a companion in meditation.
Scott Rogers’ signature energy lives in the textures and folds, yet there is restraint here too. The shaman’s gesture, his face tilted heavenward, and the wafting feather fan—all offer a quiet invitation to reflection. Viewers are drawn close, not only physically but emotionally.
Maquettes often serve as preliminary studies, but this piece stands complete in its own right. It’s a distilled essence of the full-scale vision: a figure suspended between earth and sky, prayer and presence. Rogers captures not just ceremony, but reverence itself.
