FATHER AND CHILD


   

     From the days of Abel, artists have inundated us with maternal images. With each and every "Mother & Child" there exists a father whose love for child, though not the same as that of the mother, is just as strong. The mother, in my way of thinking, is the nurturer, the embodiment of womanhood. On the other side, the father is the pillar, the masculine image, the foundation upon which the family relies. He is the teacher and companion who provides the ladder upon which his progeny can climb to responsible maturity. In this sculpture, the child ensconced in the father's arm share a story book. The child reaching up to pull the father's face is one of inquiry as much as it is the touch of love that bonds.
