Carved

struggle is sculpted

by sensual hands and heart

our bodies are free

"I have always wanted my art to service my people--to reflect us, to relate to us, to stimulate us, to make us aware of our potential."

~Elizabeth Catlett (15 April 1915 - 2 April 2012)


Ms. Catlett's sculptures, especially her wood and linoleum carvings, are extremely  moving and inspiring as they, indeed, stimulate ... i offer this beautiful Coltrane tune which also sculpts a somber, yet liberating, mood.
