alabaster
h: 30 w: 14 d: 14 (cms).
This original alabaster sculpture 'Mother' from which 'She' was created, is a reimagining of ancient sculptures of the Divine Feminine, drawing on many different forms of this archetype as mother, goddess, creator, nourisher and fertile earth force that appear across cultures and civilisations. References include the Venus of Willendorf, Venus of Hohle Fels, Ishtar, Isis, Hathor, Minoan Snake Goddess etc. Central to this body of work is my belief that consciousness, understood as the life force energy, exists not only in matter but also within empty space and connects everything. It is seen as an animate presence that creates our world in a symbiotic relationship with All. My work is an ongoing exploration of how sculpture carves into space thereby affecting consciousness, changing it forever.
