Sweet Repose

Sweet Repose shows the sweet closeness of a mare and her new foal, still so close that they are barely separate individuals. I’m drawn to depicting this bond between parent and child that is inherent in so many creatures. Mother and baby occupy their own emotional landscape for a special, but brief period of time, when they are not quite two separate individuals yet. This sculpture was made from clay and painted with acrylic paint, the bottom is covered in felt to protect furniture.
