Drifting Moss, 2023

Genuine Bleskbok skull with amethyst sage dendritic agate, Czech glass seed beads and glass mosaic tiles. Mounted on driftwood my father collected from Buffalo Basin in Wyoming in the mid-1970s. The blesbok or blesbuck is a subspecies of the bontebok antelope endemic to South Africa, Eswatini and Namibia. It has a distinctive white face and forehead which inspired the name, because bles is the Afrikaans word for a blaze such as one might see on the forehead of a horse
