"The Green Man" Group Art Exhibit - Part II

My 2nd submission is a "Skogsrå" roly poly wood chime doll.

Legend has it that a skogsrå is a Scandinavian forest spirit who appears as a beautiful woman who lures men into the woods. Often, such travelling men will then disappear - never to be seen again. While the skogsrå is beautiful on the front, her back side consists of a tail or a hollow tree trunk.

July 4th - "The Green Man" Group Art Exhibit//Vernissage

If you're in Toronto, please come and check out "The Green Man" group art exhibit that I'm a part of...

My friend Steve Wilson explains the theme best:

"The Green Man is an ancient motif representing the cycle of the seasons, transformation and the rebirth of spring after a long winter. Most often found carved in wood and stone in European gothic cathedrals, he is represented by the face of a man made up of foliage or spewing leaves.

He is enigmatic. He is misunderstood. He is benevolent. He is a primeval architype. His origins are shrouded in the mists of time..."
