The Triple Goddess in Marble and Clay
Join Eileen Bernstein to enjoy and discuss her work on October 8th from 1-3 pm at Domesticities in Youngsville.
Who is the Triple Goddess? She represents all aspects of the female life. She is the virgin maiden at the beginning of life. She is the mother, full of strength and power. She is the crone who has learned life’s secrets and lights the way for others.
Eileen Bernstein interprets the Triple Goddess in clay and stone. She has found an innate connection with these materials which is inspired by the paleolithic Venus of Willendorf to 20th Century modern sculpture. She hopes that her work imbues both childlike spontaneity and homage to ancient work.
Eileen has been dabbling in clay for over a decade. Her functional pieces led her to create more sculptural forms, primarily hand built female forms. Many of her clay pieces are fired using alternative firing methods such as wood, soda, and salt. This past year she had the opportunity to sculpt marble for the first time in Italy. She is thrilled to present her three marble sculptures as well as her ceramic sculptures.
The show will be on display from September 29th through October 27th.
