Earth Mother by Helen Leele (1993)
This sculpture is inspired by the forms and textures of the landscape and natural rock formations. It is made from a complex mixture of sand and earth, built up in layers which imitate the way rock formations are laid down, consolidated and carved by the elements. Earth Mother is a visual metaphor for the spiritual and physical connetions between humans and the earth.
