Woman
by Frances Gage, R.C.A.
The Dedication:
Woman, made of 2000lbs
of Carrara marble, was created by the artist in 1971 to commemorate the
dedicated women who built Women's College Hospital. As the shape
of the Women's College evolves, she continues to embody the essence of
past and future determination to champion women's health.
Non quo sed quo modo - Not
what we can do but how
------------------
The Creation:
The marble, a 3,000lb
chunk from the mountains of Carrara in Italy, arrived naked in the hold
of a ship, addressed "Gage, Port of Toronto". The time required to
obtain the stone was one year.
Louis Temporale roughed
the piece from the artist's full-scale model.
Ms. Gage worked for eleven
months carving Woman in her studio, then, for the remaining few months,
in situ.
