Mom’s Food wire mesh and mixed media relief on aluminum sheet, metal frame, size: 33”x24”x6”

The embryo’s food is from the mother’s blood, and after birth it is her nursing milk, both supplied from the mother’s body (even when I am bare and nude, I will always provide you food) The sweet surprise of seeing what was alive inside of me, a complete human being came out of my body, so small and so needing, everything my baby needs he can get from me and I am willing to give.

This relief is inspired by one of my life model drawings. The model is a big woman with huge breasts, her body seems like permanent pregnant and you can easily imagine her nursing two babies at the same time. I created internal organs you can see through the semi transparent wire mesh body, two embryos are outside the body connected with cords, a red one connected to the belly bottom and a golden one to the nipple, the two mother’s food suppliers. Even when the baby is out of his mother’s body he is still a part of her and the mother will always be part of her child. When she will not be around anymore, she still will be- inside her child’s heart.

Mother’s gift wire mesh and mixed media relief, metal frame , Size: 33”x 24”x 4”                                                                                            Mother’s gift has double meaning, the mother gives the gift of life to her new born, and the new born is her gift for life. A ribbon of blood stream is wrapping the gift package of Motherhood that comes with pain and love mixing together. The child is outside his mother but still attached staying connected forever surrounded by wrappings of emotions. The mother is developing motherhood feelings and relationships with her baby even when he is still inside her body as embryo. He will be her “baby” even when he’ll grow up, also after having his own family, and his own babies, the moment of giving birth and life to a human being is an unforgettable miracle.
