"The Event Called Womanhood"
The Year of the Woman has developed into a Time
for All Women. No longer defining our essence within parameters,
Pandora's Box has been opened. As women continue the dialogue, men are
joining in. They, too, are affected by the course of events in which
women are immersed: breast cancer, physical/emotional violence, aging.
The goal is to unite, not separate, especially if problems are to be
solved and life is to be lived fully.
That is also the goal of the series of bronzes
known as "The Event Called
Womanhood". The creator, Robert
Henderson, watched a mother survive two mastectomies and eventually die
from breast cancer, and a sister struggling with the loss of one breast
and bone metastasis. The fear of a daughter becoming ill stems from the
family history. His generation was taught to view women as objects.
However, over the years, an awareness and sensitivity grew.
"The Event Called
Womanhood" is provocative. It requires
the juxtaposing of ideas previously ingrained by a callous society. The
breast, certainly a symbol of womanhood, provides the focus for this
series. A total of 25 bronzes - vases, torsos, fountains - represent
the female child on through to the aged. "The Event"
forces the viewer to recognize prejudices and evaluate the merit of
each. No one will ever again find solace in ignorance.
We are sharing this unique effort with those who
strive to preserve and celebrate the story of woman. We hope you will
find "The Event" of interest to
you and your constituents. We trust that it will inspire further
communication with our Studio. "The Event"
may be a stimulus for your fund-raising, or you may see it to further
another endeavor. Major sponsorship would assure that this statement
will be heard. The originators envision "The Event
Called Womanhood" traveling to museums
and galleries - hoping to benefit non-profit organizations in their
efforts to raise funds and incite discussion. This is the first step
towards our goal - being a conduit for awareness. Your assistance is
instrumental in making this dream a reality. As our perspective is
limited to where "The Event"'
may benefit, we defer to your creative needs. We are sure of one thing
- "The Event Called
Womanhood" must be seen.
