About Shosh Ernst: Artist Statement

The figures in my work represent Woman as I see her. Woman as Mother, formed of the Earth, and bearer of the Life Force, whose inexorable creativity drives her to conceive, and forge, and produce. This innate creative power of woman is a potentially tremendous force for change, and hopefully change for the betterment of all.

In other works, I document events, ideas and recurrent universal feelings. I do so directly, in an open and even blunt manner, for these things are too important to me to be hidden. What I am after is not subtle, but rather an emotional expression to be communicated and experienced.
