Granny Flames is an 18-foot tall ancestral sculpture honoring the Seneca Nation and the False Face Society of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. She is a sacred grandmother spirit, seated cross-legged on the earth, knitting chainmail from flaming yarn balls, embodying protection, intergenerational healing, and fierce love.
Her face is marked with sacred symbolism; her crown, wings, and shawl are adorned with fire, feathers, and patterns from Turtle Island. Visitors are invited to sit in her lap, rest against her skirt, or gather in her warmth. She is not just a sculpture, she is a ceremonial space, a place to reconnect, remember, and be held.
