FEELING THE MIRACLE WITHIN


   

            I look upon a woman with child as being magical. Her body is preparing a miracle inside and her whole being is aglow. Those who look upon her are held in wonder. Here in this sculpture is a woman mentally and physically experiencing the joy for the life she bears within.

         During my studies of anatomy at a medical school, I attended classes on fetal development observing the entire process of gestation. At the moment of conception, a woman's body switches on a virtual inner computer whose nine month program nurtures a grain sized cell into a living being. Everything a fetus needs in its formation is provided by the mother. A child born complete and healthy is truly a miracle. I created this work to express my awe at the feat my wife and her body accomplished in giving us seven complete and beautiful children.

Bronze, approx.19" high, 5" wide. Limited Edition of 200.
