The American Painter George Bellows (1882-1925) said that
the ideal artist "knows everything, feels everything, experiences everything, and
retains his experience in a spirit of wonder and feeds upon it with creative lust"
... The act of creating is a force known to all artists, as is the knowledge that
less is more in any artform.
Mother Earth &Me comes perilously close to that edge, their work, a flurry
of details in texture, colour and shape. A powerful story is told in buttons and folds ....
stops .... precisely at that fine line .... giving each piece a life of it's own
and to the beholder a true emotional response, proof that the force has been passed to
the creation itself.
Just ask the people who collect their dolls, they will tell you to own one
is to own a piece of wonder and whimsy, so much more than buttons and folds.
