This sculpture is a variation on the theme of standing female figures I started around 1995. On the south side of Chicago just northwest of the stockyards, where I grew up most of the women worked in their homes cooking, cleaning, and raising their children. They would at times gather in groups of two, three, or four, mostly two or three to exchange recipes, borrow some needed ingredient for the evening meal, or complain about a child's behavior the day before. Each lady in my neighborhood had a particular way of standing and moving as well as a unique body type. I tried to capture this with the ladies in "Afternoon Conversation".

The piece is plaster with applied gesso and clear acrylic sealer.
