Colorful Polymer Clay Bison Figurine from Bali, "Bison"

Jon Stuart Anderson draws inspiration from his family history of artistry, devoting his career to exploring the wonderful possibilities offered by polymer clay. He forms the clay by hand into tubes that feature colorful and imaginative designs. Cross sections are cut from these tubes and carefully applied around the body of this bison figurine. The beautiful animal stands in a proud stance, elaborated with intricate, colorful motifs over its entire form, including the image of a ladybug on its back.

Jon Stuart Anderson has worked for 25 years to perfect this millefiori-style technique, which has allowed him to create intricate and amazing designs on his sculptures. Each pattern on this sculpture is arranged by the artisan through a process to ensure perfection.
