I was thinking of my friend Lorie, who provided the hands for this sculpture. Lorie retired just a few years ago from a long career as a midwife in Pittsburgh, and when I asked to cast her hands she assumed this pose, which she told me is a hand gesture used to symbolize midwifery. To have spent so many years bringing new life into the world!
Beautiful sculpture and lovely story.
