MUM Du is the third sculpture in
my Heart series inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement.
This piece represents mothers of shooting victims who have stood up peacefully in honor of their children during times of great grief and loss.
Mum Du Silver is an abstract, contemporary sculpture made from black concrete, steel and metallic silver which symbolizes strength, resilience, and hope. The Adinkra symbol in the necklace represents guardianship of children in the heavens.
As you examine the sculpture, you may notice the intricate details from rough to smooth that make up the heart-shaped form. This texture represent the unique struggles and experiences of those who have been affected by gun violence, reminding us that even in the face of tragedy, there is always hope for a brighter future.

Artist Statement
Reflecting upon a quiet time of romantic travel, a young traveler, free to trot the globe without restriction or concern, is grounded by the world she rests on. Understanding how much freedom you have when it is no longer available can be daunting. Taking a time out to think about our restrictions allows for a deeper appreciation of that freedom.
THE HELPING HAND
Palmer Square Chicago, IL USA
Chicago Tree Project 2018
Permanent installation in Palmer Square Park, Chicago IL, USA. This whimsical oversized hand and insect was designed for the City of Chicago Park District’s Tree Project in 2018. As a member of the Chicago Sculpture International group I was invited to sculpt a tree in the program highlighting a diseased Emerald Ash. The tree was infested with the Emerald Ash Borer larvae many years ago, died and was trimmed down to it's main trunk at 20ft.
The concrete sculpture consists of an oversized, grasping hand (11 foot long) emerging from the ground at the base of the dying tree. Just above the hand is the adult emerald ash borer also sculpted using concrete & copper.
