About Artist:
"The Greeks drew a bright line between gods and human beings. They live forever; we do not. But to say that a human personality has a beginning, middle, and end is not to deny it several forms of continuance after death.
Most obviously, we persist in the memory of those we touched, those we loved. Although our conscious lives are over, we live on in others while they live. If we have made some mark for good or ill, then we live on also in the minds of strangers, perhaps even the children of strangers."
Kettering, Oracle and Sun
About Artwork:
This solemn scene is borrowed from an ancient Greek gravestone. The young woman seated at the right has died while giving birth. A second woman brings the living child to her. The infant reaches out, but she cannot respond.
The sculptor left a small gap between the tiny, outstretched hand and the mother's reticent arm. That space--two inches at most--represents an unfathomable abyss.
