Nunan’s amphora series were an early attestation to the abundant power of womanhood and its cyclic messages of fertility and alternating emptiness, like a vessel.

This sculpture of ‘Earth Guardian’, in the mode of Nunan’s amphora series, has also a sense of a leaning ancient column with its simplicity of form and elongated protective presence.
