Description

Cherie Gamboa Copper & Mixed-Media Sculpture, 2009

Exceptional mixed-media sculpture by Cherie Gamboa, dated 2009 and signed on the underside. This intricately crafted standing spirit figure is composed of hand-formed and embossed copper panels accented with leather, fur, and natural feathers. The piece features a stylized copper face surrounded by beadwork and plumage, holding a staff and a circular medallion bearing a turtle motif. Inlaid glass beads, stone, sterling silver, and ceramic details provide depth and dimension, emphasizing Gamboa’s distinctive fusion of metalwork and organic materials.
