“Spirit Deer” is a feminine spin on the myth of Kahullumari, the sacred spirit deer of the Huichol people of Mexico. This magical deer is a guide and a messenger between the worlds of mortals and deities and is often depicted in Huichol weavings. This sculpture is a collaborative piece created by Colin and Kristine Poole and was featured in “Spectrum 22: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art.”
