The clay figure series I am currently developing is called Imago Dei. In biology "Imago" is the last stage of developement or metamorphosis for an insect. My imagry shows a symbolic human transformation from "chrysalis to butterfly." Imago Dei is a theological expresion which literally means the Image of God. It refers to both the way we are created in God's image but also how we are being transformed into His image. I plan on displaying these figures in a variety of ways, but usually in groupings as you see here. I currently have 25 figures done and my hope is to create another 25 in the next few months.
