The Russian Dolls

This series is the start of some minature artworks I am creating for gift cards
So far they are personalised for each person I am giving them to

I have based them on the shape of russian dolls, as a very feminine pregnant shape, each huddle enclosing the people we love the most. I love Russian dolls and as a kid I would find great joy in each little doll opening up for another similar but different doll inside. After having my baby last year I cannot help but think of Russian dolls in a whole new light!

Autumn Eve

Autumn Eve 

...the sister image of Summer Siren. 

Outside her skin

she connects with the wind

A time to move

embrace the change

A warmth from within

She listens

She feels

She writhes

Yearning to answer

a deep echo, an old knowing

Autumn Eve is the expression of one of the feminine, natural, physical and beautiful calls to the wild, the call to conceive a child. This delightful yearning within women has been squashed and pressed into some negative terms by modern society who perhaps finds it inconvenient, but it should be free. Women should be proud and free to express their desire to care for, to give, to mother and our society should celebrate such a time for a woman.
