As depicted on Facebook...
Anders made sketches based on the original Willendorf Statue, making his initial sketch 8,000 times bigger. (She ended up being even larger!)
Anders Løberg began on April 14, 2021. She was constructed with steel rods on a sturdy foundation. Anders added to Her for months, carrying cement on foot from the store down the street on his trailer.
She is over 6ft tall and 4ft wide, weighing in at more than 2 tons. She is made primarily of cement made from sea shells, but also many upcycled materials, including broken pieces of my Grandmother's China, oyster shells, steel, chicken fence, steel wire, old tools, birds net, rope and more!) Her breasts are mixed with milk; Her womb and yoni are mixed with menstrual blood; her belly is filled with pasta, red wine and other goodies. Her head is filled with early proof copies of Girl God Books.
She was completed on July 30, 2022. byTrista Hedren, wife of sculptor.
Yes, AC, I got the app for the kaleidoscopes on iPhones. It's certainly fun!
OK, here are the original photos...
It very nicely ignored my window ledge of the car here.
I like the clouds by Chimney Rock State Park.
The app is called KaleidaCam...free on iPhones.

She is beautiful...what a lovely statue
ReplyDeletePretty amazing multiplication from that tiny figure to 6 feet tall!
DeleteLove the statue! Your sky image and flowers are beautiful too. Take care, have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteThanks...I love the statue too!
Delete...I have several of those begonias i pot and they have become huge. Next year I need to get them again.
ReplyDeleteI like them, but these are in a well traveled path, and leave lots of petals around to stain people's shoes. Need to be somewhere they can drop petals at leisure!
DeleteWhat some people do is truly astonishing.
ReplyDeleteI don’t even have the app, but I know someone who does. 🥸 But thanks for reminding me.
Ha, ha, guess who told me about it!
DeleteLove the statue and the flowers. That app is so interesting. I've never heard of it, but I may have to get it. The photos are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad AC did talk about it, and showed some early efforts. The price of 0 is right!
DeleteQuite a homage, and a lot of work.
