Little One

“I remember when my husband and daughter or son played, laughed and tumbled together on the rug... or when all the grandkids piled onto my dad’s back for horse rides... those moments of spontaneous play, of cuddling, tickling, being present together, became the foundation for their close relationships throughout the years. Children and adults form bonds through creative play that involve laughter, imagination, physical climbing and tumbling... When making this sculpt, I wanted the adult figure to convey a sense of protection—a safe space—in which a child learns unconditional love.”
