Rory Combs
I grew up in Illinois, an area rich in its own Native American history, and I have been intrigued by Native American culture since childhood. I create limited edition bronze sculptures that try to capture the true spirit and strength of our Native American forefathers. Each piece is inspired by photos of Native Americans from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, or Native American customs, traditions and ceremonies from that period using Native American models. I strive to portray their beauty, pride, dignity and grace in each piece. I do research to find out about the person, to represent clothing, war bonnets and weapons accurately, and portray their customs and traditions as accurately as possible. Through this research, I always marvel in their spirituality and wisdom. |
