Artistic statement

“Mama” is a hand-carved sculpture in marlstone and serves as a tribute to motherhood.

A modern variation on the prehistoric mother figures (such as the Venus of Willendorf).

The body is large and heavy, while her face and hands remain small and reserved. She supports herself and rests a hand on her belly. She is beautiful, self-assured, calm, and completely inward-facing.

The rough, porous texture of the marlstone enhances the sense of softness and vulnerability, while the massive form exudes stability and strength.

The work is entirely handmade and is a unique piece.
