Wolf Pendant

Silver, Gold & Sapphire

Globalism Mask, with gold, silver copper & international currencies.

This mask was carved to represent Globalism, which sent North American factories (more than 50,000) to China along with the jobs. I carved this mask in 1998 for an exhibition in London England because I saw that it was going to be one of the most important issues of our times. Today with the global supply chain breaking down due to the Covid-19 lock-down, there are shortages in everything from medical supplies, to automobile parts to fertilizer for farms. It has become apparent that the globalism is falling apart before our eyes.
