sidebar"Allegorical Art" is a term James Muir uses to describe his work, which is filled with symbology to help create a heightened social, political and spiritual awareness. "The allegorical symbolism in my sculptures bridges the centuries of history to make contemporary statements about the human condition, in order to exemplify the highest qualities of man. My work speaks of Duty, Honor, Courage, Liberty and Justice, but above all, it speaks of Truth and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit".

| Somewhere in the wilderness of the western frontier, the sound of a distant drum alerts and awakens the warrior—spirit in this veteran of many battlefields. Somewhere in the wilderness of our inner frontier, the drum beat of a still small voice alerts and awakens the Spirit—warrior in us all. |
HISTORICAL NOTE: The origin of this drum came from the Oglala Lakota nation Horse Dreamer Society. The tail features thunder rising through a great storm of lightning and rain to reach the heavens. The vision centers on the alert, prancing horse. The storm emitting from the tail, the arched neck, denotes energy, action, and power of the thunder horse. The sacred hail paint (blue dots) and the red streaks on the body indicate the spiritual nature of the horse. The blue mane with red swallows form a conventional spirituality of the horse dreamer.’ |
Bronze Sculpture
In keeping with his deep spiritual convictions and social consciousness, Muir's sculptural subjects have expanded to reflect the critical nature of the times in which we live. Yet, whether historical or contemporary, "the golden thread that ties it all together is still my never-ending quest for the essence of life— for Truth in its purest form."
