About this artwork
Written by the art critic Patricia Preece:
"This bronze resin sculpture shows two faces locked together in the most intimate way, but their gaze is strangely distant. The strength of the work is the tension that exists between the two heads which are bound together. the mother figure angles her cheek to her child in a aresponive manner but faces away with her eyes fixed to the horizon.
At the same time the child nuzzles the mother , but its kiss… is a pout that tells us that it knows that the time for nurturing is over. The nurturer and the nurturer are also the rejecter and the rejected -= to encapsulated this using such economy of means is an amazing feat.
It is this that makes the figure truly modern. I love you , says the big heads, but its time you moved on - me and your dad have got things we want to do."
