THIS LIFESIZE SCULPTURE CELEBRATES A CONFIDENT YOUNG MOTHER  AND HER PLAYFUL CHILD ENGAGING WITH THE WORLD. A TIMELESS STATEMENT OF FUTURE HOPE.

THE REFERENCES FOR THIS SCULPTURE ARE THE TREATMENTS OF STONE FOUND IN EGYPTIAN STATUARY , WHERE THE FORMS RETAIN A SENSE OF WEIGHT IN CONTRAST TO THE OFTEN FLAMBOYANT EUROPEAN TRADITION.

THE ARTISTS WIFE AND DAUGHTERS WERE THE MODELS FOR THIS WORK.

THIS MOTHER AND CHILD WAS CARVED FROM ANCASTER ‘HARD WHITE’ LIMESTONE . AN OUTSTANDING MATERIAL TO CARVE IT IS NEITHER HARD NOR WHITE. THE CLEARLY VISIBLE GRAIN OR ‘BED’ OF THE STONE IS ALIGNED VERTICALLY ACCENTUATING THE HEIGHT OF THE WORK.

ROYSTON IS IN HERTFORDSHIRE . TO SEE THIS SCULPTURE CONTACT THE REV LESLIE HARMAN        01763  246371
