Henry moore says sculpture must have life in it. Creating a vitality and life within a form, gives it meaning and primitive power infused with humanist content. Conceptually, "Mother and Child" moves from tradition to contemporary, from realistic emotional expression to abstract presentation, from East to West.

"Mother and Child" is a connection between my mother and me over space and distance. It is a measurement in feelings through my own personal experience, presenting movement, energy, love, relation, honesty, and integrity. The energy radiates from the point where the pieces touch. Feelings toward my mother and her devastating illness mesh into one. Negative space and lines are drawn between internal and external emotions.

In my sculpture, the exploration of form, space and lines, have become an outer language to embody my inner feelings. The composition of gestural abstract forms is also affected strongly by spaces between forms. The objective is compose a portrait that is charged with rich emotional and spiritual vision.

The relationship between mother and child is universal. Clay and fire transcend the value of humility and express the texture of emotions. "Mother and Child" is a timeless statement of maternal love.
