Primordial woman

I am fascinated by the myth that declares: all that exists came from a single primordial woman, even the Earth with all its rocks. Each stone is a small particle of this earth, and stones play an important role in the cult of the great goddess.

I am seeking to depict this primordial woman's very own image, encapsulating her creative power and female eroticism. So I never try to force an ideal image onto the stone, instead I let it inspire and guide me. It is there in this abstraction or in a fragment that I find a sensual relevance of life.
