Winged Mother With Sturdy Shoes

This is the first work of the series, painted about a year before the rest (2005). The figure has wings; one is outstretched ready to fly, the other is folded in wait; her blue dress is adorned with leaves; she envelops 7 tiny figures, each of whom is housed within it’s own architectural structure; she is very large in comparison to the tiny figures she holds; she wears large no-nonsense shoes; she exists in a space without landscape.
