'CONCEPTION' - by Tara de la Garza - New York USA 60 ft scroll of Japanese rice paper, painted in a meditative state with a recurring symbol of fertility. This symbol has been distilled from various cultural/historical symbols of fertility such as the Venus of Willendorf, the circle (of life) and the Celtic spiral. The sculptural form is itself a spiral and will be sectioned and distributed as lucky talisman to people who wish to conceive at the conclusion of the show. ..."before I fell pregnant I started to think about all of the women whom I know who have struggled with conception. I am interested in superstition and how to instill my seemingly innate luck into an object that I could distribute to others. ...I wanted to create a symbol that embodied the essence of fertility. I began to paint this symbol with Sumi-e ink on Japanese rice paper. Then I fell pregnant..."	sculpture by Richard Kuhaupt wall art by Ian de Souza
