Mother and Child
Description
By Dan D. Brook cast bronze While the artist was creating this work, his daughter-in-law developed cancer. Unsurprisingly, it was impossible for Brook to focus on his artwork with a life and death crisis facing his beloved family. After his daughter-in-law started to recover, he resumed work on the piece, pouring into this sculpture some of the emotional complexity of this experience. Notice how the parent arcs protectively over her chick…but they are not touching.
