Hi Jo, Stunning piece and just right for the coming of Christmas .. you've captured the meaning of the strong bond of togetherness and parental Love, which binds Life.

Something lacking in this modern age ... sadly ..

Well done.   David

Hi Jo....I was struggling to find the right words to describe this beautiful piece of work; then I read David's post and decided just that he'd written exactly what I was thinking. Words are certainly unnecessary to explain this piece - the imagery speaks volumes!
Wonderful piece.

Jo,

You've been away too long, great to see you back and what a return.

David has summed up the feelings of the piece very well, I'd like to add that I also see protection in the overlapping arch formed of the two figures over the sphere representing the infant.
