Description: This enigmatic and alluring work leaves one with more questions than answers. Are these the complications of some sort of birth? Amid the swirls and seeming confusion, there is perhaps an umbilical cord, though we cannot discern what it was/is giving life to. Yet, something seems to have been created here, is in the process of being created still. Is this the labor, the creative act of the artist, an often-difficult process with an uncertain outcome? Note the calm countenance of the “mother,” the childlike figures to her left. They only add furtive fodder to this marvelous mystery.
