Encirclings

Thank you for your interest in our "Encirclings" series; these original works of art were designed by Marianne Hieb, R.S.M.

Encirclings is a series of clay sculptures that are created to mirror or to embrace mystery, to encourage and enhance discovery. They are meant to be furthered by the reflection of the receiver.

The gift of an Encircling is the gift of open space, of possibility, of trust in vision, of confidence in the Holy to reveal. This gift can be given to oneself, particularly at a special time of call, of seeking, or of commitment. It can be given to another as a gift marking a significant journey, or as a confirmation of the holiness revealed in the ordinary beauty and mystery of the everyday.

One of the prime function of the Encirclings Series is to accompany, and eventually hold out to the viewer, a sacred element of the journey. To that end, Encirclings could be taken on a retreat, accompany someone on a sabbatical, be with a person prior to surgery, or enhance any life event. Encirclings can provide the gift of of celebrating, and helping to illuminate the many life-transitions that bring with them opportunities for growth and deepening.

There are currently sixteen different expressionistic sculptures based on original clay figures and reproduced in cold-cast porcelain, some with a variety of colors, from which to choose. Listed below are the pieces that we have available, along with the costs.
