Robin Lynn Brooks Art -
Earth Mother Standing in the Field, 1993. 42" x 30". Pastel. The first of the Earth Mothers series.

I remember creating my first drawing since my baby boy was born a year and a few months before. We had a friend over for dinner, and I listened and occasionally joined in with the conversation through the open doorway to the few feet of wall space I now claimed as my studio. As I took pastel to paper, I tried to remember the feeling of standing tall and strong, my feet on the ground, my arms upraised to the sky, feeling my power.


Picture
Earth Mother Lying Down, 1994.
​12" x 13'5" x 11'6". Earth — dirt.

Earth Mother Lying Down lies stretched out on the earth, soaking up strength from deep within the earth’s core and from the healing warmth of the sun. She is resting, renewing, just as the earth does each fall and over the long winter in preparation for spring. Just as I was doing in those years in preparing my body and hoping for another child. When I went to visit her in the middle of the winter, I found animal tracks coming from all directions, criss-crossing all over and around her, surrounding and covering her. Somehow the animals had found her, and it felt as if they were giving her and me their blessing.
