The Mutations of the Seahorse

This sculpture delves into the shamanic sphere of shape

shifting and metamorphosis. The Seahorse is considered

to be kindred to the chimaera, a being that is a composite

of many animals. Many emblems from heraldry partake of

the symbolic mutations that are exemplified in the Seahorse.

One often sees the blending of lion, eagle, and dragon in the

symbolic iconography of alchemical science.
