"In Safe Hands"                       2007                            700mm

​My first commissioned work, was to create a visualisation of the ethics of good maternity care for a graduating midwife; a gift from her proud  husband.
The concept formed in my mind of a pair of  competent female hands enveloping an expectant mother as she awaits with both  anticipation, and some trepidation, the event of birth.
His comment. “ I think K was a little overwhelmed, as the sculpture really identifies with the essence of her practice and her perspective on serving women during their pregnancy” 
A practice work in soft limestone was made ,to get a feel of the concept. The final work gave me a great sense of satisfaction, as did it’s acceptance by the client!
