Earth Mamma Painting

This painting is two artworks in one. The flip side of 'You Beauty', the two paintings describe different aspects of the mother/child relationship. 'Earth Mamma' is the woman engaged with her child as the priority. The objects selected are just some of many potential indicators that the child is her focus today. This work was created for an invitational exhibition of art by women to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the NZ women's movement. The inspiration for this piece was to create an alter mat for the quintessential 'kiwi' (New Zealand) mother, splitting her focus between nurturing her child and herself. The 'new age' woman is recommended to have a sacred space to restore. I created this two-sided mat to illustrate the different sides of her self image using objects that different women loaned me for the purpose. This reversible artwork can be hung on the wall, and is durable enough to be used as a mat for sacred objects to be place on any surface. The polyurethane finish makes it robust enough to wipe clean with a wet cloth. It would stand up to being used as a rug and regularly walked on. Commissions can be negotiated for a personal altar mat created with specific items depicted. Unstretched canvas can be produced with one or both sides painted, an size desired up to 60mm / 2ft square demensions.
