ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Daughter of Eve is a feminist response to René Magritte’s Son of Man. It extends the metaphor: in the second millennium Eve has eaten the apple; and she is in control of her sexuality, fertility and destiny. This work is also an affirmation of the power of art to change society and its perspectives. Daughter of Eve forms part of a series of sculptures, Eve in the Garden. It is a free-standing sculpture, mounted on a flat, inconspicuous, non-scratch pedestal.

I love creating sculptures that tell stories - stories of heroes and heroines, of places, eras, hopes, dreams and freed imaginations, with an iconography of ladders and stars and flowers and lips and hands and gold and leaves and birds and muscles and apples and lambs. I hope that when you choose to put one of my sculptures into your personal and work space it will add its presence and meaning to your life - that it will feel like sharing your home with a companion or even a trusted friend with whom you will have continual conversations about your life. How extraordinary it would be if we could share these conversations - me with you about the stories when it took form, and you with me about the stories you share with the form of the work! Even if we cannot share these conversations, I do hope these sculptures will resonate with the stories of your life. Above all, I hope it will lead to a celebration of life for you, because life is beautiful, and strong, and fragile, and transient, and enduring, and poetic, and crude, and immense and obscure and superficial and intense. It is all of everything. (And we have the privilege of having it internally, and being part of the eternality of it!) I work in fired terracotta. (Formally: My materials and technique appropriates the poetic form of the classical style of sculpture, often with color added as comment.)
