The sculpture will be on permanent exhibition at Lambeth Palace, London, home of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The sculpture depicts the Hand of God, holding a globe with dancing figures on the top, symbolizing youth bringing peace to the world. Mimi said the Queen was very interested in her work and liked the message of peace the sculpture symbolizes "Mimi's most wonderful sculpture expresses so clearly the eternal love of God. The open hand the tiny globe the dancing children, depicts the Father's care and the Father's heart."
"It is my hope that my sculpture touches, inspires, and validates the peace that is within each one of us. I feel strongly that love is the healer of everything. When people come into contact with art, if love and joy are represented, the response and interaction with it can raise the consciousness of the world." "My art comes through me when I hold the wax in my hands. The joy, the dance of love between ourselves and others that I feel, comes out in my work." |
