Description
I was thinking about different cultures traditional Mother images.
What they all have in common (to me, at least) is a restrained and idealized vision of femininity. There's the Amorphous shape of a Burqua, the 50's housewife, the Matrioska doll in Russia. I'm sure there are more to name.
What I realized is that if you strip away the cultural trappings and sentimentality that we've wrapped the Mother-image up in, you reveal Venus.
A voluptuous goddess of sex and fertility.
She's a painting on a cave wall, a dream of thighs and warmth.
It's too bad we've hidden her away.
