This sculpture was once located in a secluded area
of Paradise Garden. The mother's body is built over
a television set, which displays a painted portrait
of the artist. The piece was originally intended
to include a tape recording with the sounds of the
woman's voice, which visitors could play by turning
the television knobs.
