00:00I was thinking about the medusa and I actually got diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis six
00:08years ago now and medusa the Greek myth was about getting frozen to stone so ankylosing spondylitis
00:19is also called bamboo spine. I got power from that actually creating the sculpture and it was
00:29even though she's frozen it's actually taking my power back. The four faces of femininity we carry
00:40them all the time but we can get tired and we have emotions and we're allowed to express them
00:47and we are just who we are but it's really just about regaining your strength and healing that
00:56creating the sculptures was such a healing therapeutic time it took me a long time to produce them.
01:05Raising my three boys and spending time with them in the studio these sculptures that I've produced here
01:13have been a huge effort and once I began I couldn't stop and one of my sons Chase actually helped
01:24me
01:25create the basis of them so it was great to get to know him as well his personality and then
01:33all
01:33the sculptures to about their own personalities. Those first three were really just that female strength I think essentially
