Quiet Joy: A Totem of Unity
From the hands of Black Bear Upper Elementary students comes a sculptural poem in clay—transforming any space, indoors or out, into a place of wonderment and beauty. This towering totem, mounted on a solid Elm wood base and standing six feet tall, is more than a sculpture; it’s a story told through touch, intention, and glaze.
Each geometric form began as a simple block of clay, slowly shaped into a constellation of angles and curves that reflect the joy of making and the power of quiet unity. The delicate patterning etched across its surface offers a meditation in craft, patience, and presence. Crowned with a lotus flower, the math and the magic are both here: angles that dance, circles that whisper, and edges that meet in harmony. A sculpture, yes—but also a beacon of imagination.
