About Teevo's Mom (Birthing II)

Teevo’s Mom is a table-top sculpture of a female cow giving birth—the head and shoulders of the calf just visible as the mother sits, head turned towards the viewer. Forged from bronze and patinated with layers of colour—creamy tones, black, brown and red gives the sculpture a textured and realistic coat. Inscribed with a signature, date and edition number 1 of 5.

“I wanted to recreate the images from my childhood, the presence and the animation of the animal. The way I felt it then and the way I still feel it. To capture the spirit of the animal. I wanted to be faithful to my memory.” Joe Fafard
