Mother and Child

Mediums: сumberland аlabaster..
Location: The Tate Gallery (London, the UK).

The small abstract sculpture made of soft Cumberland alabaster, which is distinguished by a translucent light gray colour with streaks of black, white and brown. The work has a horizontal orientation and is dedicated to the eternal theme of mother and child, which dictates the sculptor soft wavy lines and streamlined shapes to the work. Mother is depicted in the form of an abstract figure, which looks like a reclining woman, leaning on her elbow; she is embracing her child with her second hand. Despite the simplicity and sketchiness, her posture is natural and radiates warm emotions, indicating a close relationship between the mother and her child.
