<\/p>\nCeramic, fired bas relief<\/p>\n
Like many an artist, I keep a sketchbook\/journal handy so I can jot down ideas, quotes and make sketches when the inspiration strikes me. I often listen to audiobooks in my studio and that is where the idea for this medal came from. It was inspired by a sentence written by Edith Wharton \u201cA woman\u2019s nature is like a great house full of rooms\u201d. The imagery in those words was immediate. I have often dreamt of being in such a house, one that kept telescoping out to other rooms each one more complex than the last. The view in this medal approaches the house from the exterior. One thing leads to another; next I expect to create another with interior view on the reverse side.<\/p>\n

Bronze, lost wax cast<\/p>\n
As a long time advocate of women\u2019s rights, I thought the time was right to revisit a medal I made in 2007 but never completed in bronze. The completed bronze medal Self Worth speaks to women\u2019s perceptions of themselves. How often we women focus on our exterior appearance at the expense of valuing and developing our inner selves. In light of the the Me Too movement it has been heartening to see and hear women of all ages and backgrounds stand up and speak their truth again, we are worth it!<\/p>\n
