SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK 5/30

I wanted to share with you the inspiration behind my sculpture, "Ode to Venus" (right). In 1908 an archeologist discovered a female fertility figure carved from limestone in Willendorf, Australia."Venus of Willendorf" (left) stands 4 in. high and is estimated to have been made between 24,000 and 22,000 BC. Boldly sexual and designed for procreation, my sculpture is an homage to this sculpture from long ago.
