Calvin D. Weeka: Picasso Marble, Two Owls
Wee-ka
Calvin, took on a new challenge and carved not just one but two owls out of picasso marble. The best part is that one of these magnificent creatures flaunts his wings in a flying position. It's as if it's about to take off into the sky at any given moment! Calvin's craftsmanship shines through as he captures every feather, every curve, and every life-like feature of these owls.
Owl (Muhukwi): Owls can see what others cannot and this is a large part of Owl (Muhukwi) medicine. Owl’s ability to do this reminds us of the importance of both worlds: the physical as well as the spiritual, perhaps the known and the unknown. Our willingness and courage to transform the unknown in ourselves into the known is a true source of wisdom. The Zuni Pueblo people call the owl “the Night Grandfather” because he does his work at night. Clairvoyant properties and uncovering deception have always been associated with Owl. Its connection with wisdom comes from Owl’s ability to discern that which cannot be “seen.”
