That says it all. Words spoken, and words un-spoken.
Stunning art!!
This is beautiful…Shirley you are a stunning wise woman;) An amazing work of art. thank you for sharing this.
I just love that breastfeeding mother, doesnt have her singlet strap down… her arm is entirely out of it by the looks… [whole]breast feeding.. xx Magical. hope the artist got and gets much continued healing from the messages and people who sit with the women and children she created.
I never noticed that before. I’m going to Toronto in September so will be sure to go and see this and get my own pic taken with the oxytocin women!
