Diana Earth & Moon is the result of the artist's six-month quest for the idealized feminine form. The myth of Diana as goddess is well integrated into the sculpture. We witness the strength and power of the feminine personality in the figure as she stands on the Earth and holds the moon, her symbol, above her head. Diana is at the same time grace and power - physically seductive and emotionally ethereal - solid as the earth and as mysterious as the moon.
