Artist Comment

This piece is a continuation of the ideas in my sculpture, "Gaia meets Coriolis", The large hand belongs to Gaia herself and she is holding the egg/Earth. Emerging from the egg is her daughter, embodying the full potential and power of the continuum of woman-mother-creator. The Daughter`s body and Gaia`s hand are at very different scales (about 1:8) but they fold into each other the way two hands can interlace. This represents the way the inner and outer universes fit together. For example, the convex curve of the daughter`s forearm is nestled into the concave curve of the first section of her mother`s thumb. I see the inner and outer universes fitting together in a continuum of form and space from molecules and DNA to the egg within the mother who is within the Earth, within the solar system, within the galaxy and then the universe. Then there is the question of layers or dimensions beyond that. The time-continuum of interconnected lives is also manifest in this sculpture. As in "Gaia meets Coriolis" the sphere (in this piece it is a hemisphere) is Earth, the egg and the cell. It is solid enough to support the emerging life and also flexible enough to morph to the pressures exerted by both Mother and Daughter. The Daughter`s hair moves like both water and fire: it can defy gravity. It is the charge that comes from the circuit between Mother and Daughter, past present and future.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
