Mother
*Mother* is an assemblage sculpture dedicated to my Mother, Anita, and features an all-giving hand holding a three petaled rose – a longtime symbol of our relationship. Twig "wings" hover and protect two pine cones, representing my brother and I. Garnet sprinkles and multicolored rocks signify the many pearls of wisdom she continues to share with us. Moss, birch and other natural elements allude to her handbuilt, Adirondack home in the forest mountains, located in an area known for garnet mines. Finally, a birch halo {not viewable in photo} represents her endless optimism. All is arranged upon a rock, as she has always has been one in our lives.
