"MATRIARCH"

"Matriarch" is a favorite work; As I was building it, memories of my grandmother kept invading my mind.....

she was a strong personality, she and I crossed swords many, many times when I was very young; until one day when we were arguing I happened to look in her eyes......she was enjoying herself so much! None of my male relatives would challenge her, but I would. From that day on, we had much more fun with each other. This piece is a memorial to her and all grandmothers who want active ,intelligent, feisty grandchildren.

A sculpture made primarily of wood incorporates various wooden components, including scraps and art pieces, with some elements polished and others retaining their natural color. This arrangement forms a unique and intricate design that evokes a sense of both modern art and antiquity. Among these wooden components are cups, spoons, and round, eye-shaped items that suggest lenses. The intricate assembly, possibly abstract in nature, might suggest an old, antique device. The black backdrop enhances the artwork, adding a dramatic effect and inviting viewers to explore its symbolism and inspire their imagination.
