Sight & Sound - Mother & Child

Mother and child statue in a fireplace niche in my basement "office"

The song "Sanvean: I Am Your Shadow" was composed by Lisa Gerrard to express her longing to be with her child (in Australia) while she was touring with her band Dead Can Dance in Europe in 1992. This version is from her 1995 CD The Mirror Pool.

    I think it's a nice statue, but I'm a sucker for stuff like that.

    ...the music is poignant. I could feel her sadness, and the photo of the Mother and Child reflects it so well...the shadows and the softening at the edges especially.

    I collect mother and child artwork. This is exquisite.

    Stunning photo, Roy -- the hazy edges, the black and white, the graininess!
