The Fire of Inspiration

For my entire life imagery has fueled my being.  Sight is one of the most powerful senses for it always holds such life and reality.  When one sees something; it's raw or molded but usually seen for what it's worth.

The Venus of Willendorf
The apparent large size of the breasts and abdomen, and the detail put into the vulva, have led scholars to interpret the figure as a fertility symbol. The figure has no visible face, her head being covered with circular horizontal bands of what might be rows of plaited hair, or a type of headdress. She was thought to be very healthy given her weight and size.[3]
The nickname, urging a comparison to the classical image of "Venus," causes resistance in some modern analyses. According to Christopher Witcombe, "the ironic identification of these figurines as 'Venus' pleasantly satisfied certain assumptions at the time about the primitive, about women, and about taste".[4]
The purpose of the carving is subject to much speculation. The statue was not created with feet and does not stand on its own.

Years prior I first saw a glimpse of Venus of Willendorf, but then my mind was tainted.  Society had placed in my head the beauty of perfection when in fact true beauty is not that.  Venus of Willendorf is a statuette of what true beauty can be because beauty does not have one form.  We all were put on this Earth to reproduce and that is a sight to see within it's self....

Truly a fire of inspiration has arisin....you will see this in some sort of piece coming from me .....very soon very soon
