Credit Line: General Plant Improvement Fund, 1993.73
In 1956 Jack Zajac began studying the forms of sheep and goats. He saw these animals as traditional symbols of fertility and sacrifice and used them as metaphors for confronting death. Big Ram Skull and Horn, January is from a series of colossal skull and horn fragments that Zajac included in a 69-piece, open-air show in Orvieto, Italy. While the presumption of death is apparent, the form brings forth a living presence as well, one which speaks of the vitality of life forces both biomorphic and organic.
