The Venus of Willendorf was discovered in 1908 in Willendorf Austria, and created somewhere around 30,000,000 BCE as a FERTILITY GODDESS. Archeologists believe that she was held in the palm of a hand or put in a pocket when someone wanted to have a baby. For me, this icon of prehistory is not only sacred as a representation of historic human development, but because I see the venus as a symbol for the furtle ground and place of pure potentiality within all of us. I affectionately call her Venus Envy as a play on the Freudian Term “penis envy”. I make these forms from clay and brass as a reminder that this fertile ground and powerful potential we have inside, is just waiting to be tapped into. I challenge you to go and find it!!
