Forms of the Feminine Spirit
So what is that form?
In the simplest way it is the forms we human females all share on this planet. But when we move up the scale of the simple, or not so simple physical plane into the realms of feelings or thought-patterns, giving form to the feminine becomes a lot more complex. Is there duality, male/ female to emotions? to thought? to energy? Or is the feminine just an angle, a perspective?
The feminine is an aspect of our being for both men and women. Each of us needs our male and female aspects well developed. Marilyn Monroe is an example of someone having a wonderfully rich feminine aspect with an undeveloped male quality. She did not have the male structure and strength to protect herself and to set and hold clear boundaries.
Every crisis – meaning passage, or change, or transition- calls for a strength to be develpped. Many of my sculptures are virtues put into form. Not that any of those have a gender, but I belief it is in the nature of the feminine to move into process -into change- and to go with the flow for a while.
We are all constantly involved in balancing these aspects. With the foods we eat, people we spend time with, books we read, music — it is all part of nurturing my feminine spirit.
My sculptures are a way of expressing what I can see. They are all part of and an answer to a process in my life. I am thriled to share them with you.
There is wonderful work out there nurturing the feminine spirit. My favorite right now is Paulo Coelho’s book: “The Witch of Portobello”
If you would like to share the books, the music, the ideas, art that speaks to your feminine or most of all your personal stories, please don’t be shy. Sign in with this forum and start a “new topic” or ” post a reply” on the upper left side of the square. I will answer and so will many people who are part of our little tribe here.
Dear Maya, I found your “Devotion” online as “mini-Mary Magdalene” while researching depictions of MM. I acquired “Devotion” with joy at the St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral bookshop in Jackson, MS. I see her as the Madonna in later life. Thank you so much for your beautiful sculptures….your “Quan Yin” and “First Awareness” candlelamps are most appealing.

Hi ,
I have a question. I have a print done my Alberti Design showing a family of four lions with the wings and signed M.Pena 1981. Do you have any idea how much it’s worth? I will appreciate your help.Dorothy wrote:Hi ,

I will appreciate your help.Hi Dorothy and welcome to the Forum, you actually want to post this question in the Ask Melody section. She is M. Pena. Or even in the General Windstone Section.
