Primordial

The forth of seven bronze sculptures created by artist, Gerald Griffin for his "Paradigm Shift series. The artworks in this series were created as visual interpretations of original poems written by the artist over a period of twenty five years. 
A strong Black woman slightly looking over her shoulder. This piece pays reverence to the universal idea that the creative spirit is female.  And like the iconic, Venus of Willendorf,  a prehistory, 25,000 year old sculpture of the woman as God, this image of a Black woman Goddess again defines her evolutionary role of the soul bearer, the nurturer and the protector.
