My mother was the study for this sculpture.As we spent quiet hours together in the studio, I took great care to appreciate the true depth and meaning of the hands I saw before me. I imagined them holding a baby; I imagined them holding me. The hands that reared my spirit, the hands that carry all I am—the hands of nurture and nature.For me, this sculpture represents the unknown aspects of a mother and the complex decisions that maternal hands make throughout a child's life. This sculpture reflects the hands that created most of whom I am. The combination of thousands, if not millions, of small maternal gestures and moments, together add up to the most beautiful formulae. The mathematics of me.
