"Ice Pond" View 2 Is this 'princiess' contimplating her live pensively and serenly or, perhaps, she is considering the heavy burden of her responsibilities and resigned to her fate. One thing is certain: She has a unique beauty which is expressed by the artist both literally and metaphorically."Ice Pond" Detail 1 Feathers are attached as a sort of necklace to the bust. The soft textures and warm colors of the feathers contrasts with the stiff and cool textures and colors of "hair" on this sculpture."Ice Pond" Lacemaking by hand is not only a highly specialized art form but also a dying one. As a young girl the artist had the oportunity to observe close-up the elders in the Netherlands as they performed their craft. "Ice Pond" Detail 2 The significance of the handmade lace in this sculpture is poignant on many levels.
