Credit where credit is due…

The sculpture we are “borrowing” for the front page of our blog is the work of Joanna Mallin-Davies. It is called “Fat Ladies” and this is what she says about it:

“Whether in a state of rapture or serenity, the women I create have an innate self-possession, an inner smile, as if finding a beautiful, abundant garden. They share the same inner contentment, living in pleasure with themselves and their surroundings, for their own sake. It is their pleasure.
I carry this feeling of simplicity and strength in the form of the piece. Smooth simple lines and curves accentuated by only slight details of expression in faces and hands, the feeling of peace and balance resonates through the form, even if the tableau itself is not immediately understood.”

My hope is that Ms. Mallin-Davies would approve of our “Sisterhood”.
