Motherly Care by Lameck Million, Stone, Unique, 120cms high by 40cms wide by 30cms deep, Figurative, Family, Women, Love, Children sculpture
Motherly Care by Lameck Million is a unique Shona Springstone sculpture. The piece standing 120 cm high, 40 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. It captures a woman carrying a baby in a shawl on her back, embodying warmth and protection.
The woman stands upright, gazing to the right. Her face is abstracted, yet her smile conveys tenderness. She wears a long skirt that drapes to her feet, and a hood covers her head, adding to her serene presence. Her arms rest naturally at her sides, grounding the composition.
The baby peeks from the top of the shawl. Its small face has closed eyes, suggesting sleep and security. The shawl wraps around the child, emphasizing comfort. The closeness of the figures creates a continuous flow of form, guiding the eye from the woman’s head down to her feet.
Million contrasts textures to enhance the sculpture. He smooths and polishes the skin of both figures, creating a deep, reflective black. Meanwhile, the hood, skirt, and shawl remain rugged, revealing the stone’s natural qualities. This contrast draws attention to the figures while adding visual depth.
The sculpture balances abstraction with storytelling. Simplified forms emphasize emotion over detail, yet the maternal bond is unmistakable. From multiple angles, the piece radiates care, love, and quiet dignity. The combination of flowing shapes, textural contrasts, and abstracted form demonstrates Million’s mastery of Shona stone carving, making the sculpture both expressive and timeless.
