Title: Exposed Strength


I aimed to create a sculpture that represents both the strength and vulnerability of
motherhood. The work suggests a suspended womb delicately holding five eggs, exploring fertility, fragility, protection and potential. In many cultures pomegranates symbolise fertility and motherhood and I wanted to depict this in my final sculpture.

“Precisely what I had hoped this course would enable me to do - take risks, have
fun, learn new skills and enjoy the process.”
