Belly (images show front and back) at the MOTHERS Exhibition, Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, November 5 - December 23, 2010.
Artist Statement: This belly sculpture is a post menopausal pondering about aging mother bodies and their lost fertility. Round ripe bellies hold promises of new life. These promises emerge and we become their mothers. Time passes faster than we can anticipate. Fertility ebbs and ends, transforming both the outer belly and the belly within. Spring and summer disappear and we sometimes mourn our expired fertility as our vacated bellies settle in for winter.
