Fatherhood (Heartman) (marquette for a 3m high monument). bronze on granite base dim.: h 890 x w 160 x 20.5 cm (h 610 x w 158 x 23 cm) plus base edi: 3/15 variations. The father figure carries his offspring purposefully forward and upward ….one leg/foot is heavily earthed. The footles leg steps up into the unseen. The heart-shaped torso forms a shield. This accentuates a protective male manner. This accentuates the practical responsibilities of a father. The footless leg suggests the trusting/spiritual/faith, the uncontrollable component in the act of creating and caring. When the portrait head is left out, the neck becomes a phallic symbol. dat: 2003. R42 000
