“The Pawn”

Pawn; A person used to advance another’s purpose.

“The Pawn” is an eight foot Indian Maiden carved from a White Pine log.  The historical reference is to the “Cigar Store Indian”, but with a modern theme for an ancient dilemma.  She is doing something distasteful that she really doesn’t want to do (selling the bundle of cigars), but is being paid with beads and a mirror.  The mirror has many facets symbolically.  I’ve chosen to have the mirror facing the viewer, allowing the spectator to interact with the theme to reflect and perhaps identify with “The Pawn”, be it a man or women.
