A tribute to motherhood
This work is art in progress.
I PORTRAY the incredible, completely unique and for everyone else almost impossible power of love that a mother possesses, I portray it by the mother having a tiger cub on her left side, while she has a lamb by her right arm.
SHE loves both equally, even though one eats the other. For the rest of us the equation doesn’t add up, but for the mother it is obvious.
The face in the work is cast directly on the face of Bond Woman Maud Adams. Maud herself saw no point in her taking up space like this in my work of art. But she still showed respect to the artist, that is, me! I have chosen Maud’s face to crown motherhood. Now it is the case that Maud is childless like me, and I don’t know if it is like mine, self-chosen. I have chosen Maud because of her beauty, which is as strong on the inside as on the outside, she is both humble and very strong – she would be a super mother, she is a very good role model.
Regarding children – children are the most wonderful thing there is – why I chose not to!
1: I have been 100 percent absorbed in the artistic process.
2: If I had met a man who was worthy of my trust, I definitely think I would have helped create a child.
There are still so many of us. I am so very happy that there are friends who have had children. I believe that we all have something to give, that we are needed, in all ways and forms.

I believe that maternal love is almost the highest form of love, both in the animal kingdom and among humans.
MOORE ABOUT PORTRAITS
I miss my mom so much. She was an amazing mother! Sometimes, when jsg doubted myself, she said: dear, you have your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground, you always land right! How beautiful isn’t that?!
