Chesney
Chesney is a 4-point buck draped in a vintage military blanket, a striking collaboration with Rank & Sugar. The blanket, once carried through service, now becomes a mantle of resilience, remembrance, and quiet honor—an emblem of sacrifice and strength. His presence is elevated by a chain-stitched rendering of Mary Oliver’s poem “December”. Words that mirror the fleeting magic of encountering a deer in the wild.
"Then it turned and vanished. In shyness, perhaps. Or simply because we get no more than such dreamy chances to look upon the real world. The great door opens a crack, a hint of the truth is given -- so bright it is almost a death, a joy we can't bear and then it is gone."
Chesney embodies this threshold moment where the everyday gives way to wonder, beauty, and reverence, if only for an instant. His beaded eyes and nose give him a soulful presence, a hand-worked detail that makes him both striking and tender.
A significant portion of the proceeds from Chesney’s auction will be donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF), ensuring that his beauty and story not only honor the poetry of the natural world, but also stand as a tribute to those who have served.
