Artist's Comments

The final version of my Gaia. This started out as a figurative study from a live model, but after the sessions ended, I found the pose and depiction wanting, so I moved the limbs and began to carve. This is what manifested. While no longer a technically accurate figure study, the DA submission gods determined I must place her here.

The countenance was to be that of an ageless and ancient being--one of stone and earth, eroding yet teeming with life and patterns of energy, for all things are contained within the body that is Her.

Clay, about 10" tall

Beautifully crafted with great waves and a facial expression that seems to tell a story.

Thanks very much--I've gotten many reactions from people about her face, but yours was the one I was hoping for.

Thanks, Joumana! I still need to do more photos of her--I'd like to be able to have one image with front, back, and both sides in it. Unfortunately, my cat would NOT leave me alone when I was taking these, so this session was cut short...
