Gaia / Dewi Sri 2022 - giving, receiving - birch plywood - 63x27x16 cm   2023 Van Den Berge Gallery - Goes NL - 33 Years                     all images © ingrid van der hoeven   Title of the sculpture refers to Mother Earth or Ibu Bumi, a universal fact, which has an extra charge for me as my primordial mother was of Indonesian origin. In her standing pose, she represents both the gesture of giving and receiving. She represents maternal care, but also the power of women to pass on family values to the next generation.
