Mom’s Bones, based on a family story, is an ongoing and interconnecting series of works utilizing wishbones and what they symbolize, some actual poultry wishbones, and some of cast gold. This series includes hanging ornaments made of gold-painted wish bones, a pair of sculptures from the Spirit Cave series utilizing cast gold wish bones and Empty Nest (click below), a metaphor for life-change workshops, and created from an inverted fichus tree; eggshells; nests from various sources: humming birds, nightingales and Penelope’s own nest weavings; and small sculptures of birds. |
