Large sculptures

In this sculpture Fredy establishes the connection with the enigmatic imagination of Artemis from Ephesus, in which the breast and the ovum fuse. At Fredy all elements of fertility find their clear place. Around a wooden core she creates a figure of a woman in steel lines. They orbit around her prosperous lap in an eternal move.

The woman is the air goddes and water mother Ilmater in one of the Kalevala creation stories. She was partially visible while lying on the infinite waters. The red-faced duck laid his eggs on her, from which the universe and various heroes were born. There are several versions of this story.

For me, the story was quite surprising, because there is no mentioning about the man, as with Adam and Eve. Mankind is curious about the early beginnings of his existence and reproduction. We think we can manage everything including reproduction, but for many in the modern Western world the natural fertilization of the ovum can not be taken for granted.

Glass is the perfect material to depict fertilization/development of the ovum. The statues were created ‘La Madre de la Fertilidad‘ and ‘Diosa de la Fertilidad‘.

The sculptures in this series are narrative and have a relationship with comic strip drawings. The goddesses of fertility are accompanied by a King who wears his fallus on a platter. The fallus and crown are of blown glass or bronze. The head and magical fan are of poured glass.

The blown and in sand poured glass is used in combination with solid wood, cast iron and forged iron or bronze.
