‘Mum”
Be ever so mum as you approach this mother grizzly bear and her cub. They notice you as well. Mum is also an affectionate word given by the British to their mothers. Fitting, as this 2022 Mr and Mrs Ferguson sculpture was created for a Burning Man exhibition in England. Together, Burning Man and Chatsworth House presented Radical Horizons, a free art tour of Burning Man sculptures on the grounds of this 17th century historic estate. ‘Mum’ was one of 12 sculptures exhibited for 6 months to a half million visitors.
‘Mum’ is back in north America and in a forest home on loan to Mountain Village in Telluride, Colorado. With thanks to Telluride Arts. Mum joins out another of our penny bears in Telluride, Ursa Ravus.
