TWO STATUES / TWO STONES
Beautiful and Inspiring
The FIGURES
At first these figures appear to be simplistic in shape. Closer examination shows that there is something more complex about this simplistic form than what the eye first sees. Some of the features worth noting can be found below; a few are discussed in further detail.
-
Triangular finish of both hands and hair
-
Nondescript face
-
Curves of the body
-
Circular standing base
- Open V-shaped cavity that supports the rose quartz heart and the geometric stone
FEATURES
The shape shows a flexibility, a fluidity to the body, that is not afraid to bend and fold and this brings a gracefulness to each statue.
Fluidity is also extended to the leg area where the legs almost appear to be dissolving, toward the ground, into the circular standing base, creating a wide foundation. This base design could be interpreted to be a visual testament to the broad support of Mother Earth.
Pictures below show only the figure with the Rose Quartz heart.
Nourishing Mother ~ Feminine Ideal
Representative of true Love that is both unconditional and non-exclusive.
The love for self is found within the artwork of this statue with the arms poised as if in readiness to envelop the body. The arms with their undefined fingers hold onto what has been gathered to the body, to itself. But the clasp, the hug, the all-encompassing arms are not so tightly folded as to exclude any. The ample space in the v-shaped cavity supports the idea that there is room for the masses to come and experience this feminine ideal. The suggestion of breasts inside the cavity of this figure makes an appropriate statement --- a welcome of sorts --- to come and be nourished.
The back side of the figure resembles the shape of the Dolphin and/or the Whale and thus suggests a connection to these two and also to the primal waters where these wonderful creatures live.
The FACE
A representative of the collective rather than the individual
The face is plain but has the idea of eyes, nose and mouth. None of these features are clearly defined, but it is still possible to see that this is a human face although rather nondescript. In this sense, this face could be seen to be a representative of the collective of faces - it neither defines a particular person nor restricts the imagination from assigning any human person to this figure.
The ROSE QUARTZ HEART
This is the stone of love
This is a gorgeous piece of rose quartz. The placement of this heart matches the heart position within the figure cavity where it fits very nicely.
The GEOMETRIC SHAPE
8-SIDED / PRISMATIC BRILLIANCE
This stone is clear. You can see through it and it will magnify.
At times this piece may act a little like a kaleidoscope as the planes/edges tend to pick up the surrounding colors within the immediate environment.
The rays within this stone are made more brilliant when sunlight or other light source is introduced. The stone's main 8 rays multiply to create various designs with the exposure to light.
I am uncertain as to whether this stone is made of glass or quartz. The geometric stone is very clear. This is a gorgeous piece and it fits very nicely within the figure cavity.
MEASUREMENTS etc.
These Figures will look great anywhere you put them.
The two figures make a stunning display together or, equally, as stand alone items.
