"Disconcerted"
This represents the time when the enviroment
changes for the babe. They become aware something is going on! Surely they must?
"Displacement"
The hard work has started and muscles are working.
There must be a moment when light actually penetrates that internal space for the very first time. The rays of light
highlight the toes of the infant which are showing the trepidation it is feeling at the huge changes that are happening in,
and too, it's enviroment.
"Umbilical"
The umbilical cord! Magical, mystical, sheathed in fluid
shining silver and throbbing with life! Primordial and viseral yet live giving and nurturing. Wonderfull!
"Pressure"
This work is VERY large! I wanted to make the viewer feel
like the birth canal. As the babe moves toward the world it is squeazed and crushed, controlled by a force as old
as time.
"Push"
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm what is it? Is it a planet? Creation? or
the 'point' of birth itself? This work represents a fraction of the whole.
"Welcome to the world"
Self explanatory! The first sleep as a person in their
own right!
