*Llama Groom*

 Pencil on Paper, 640 x 900 mm, 2009

 This piece is set in a community in the Andes. The two women at the top are maidens who are to be the mothers of the llamas in the eggs. The eggs lie in a nest placed in the middle and the maidens are playing a lullaby for their unborn babies. The other women are the mothers of the baby llamas they're carrying on their backs. The mothers are supporting the maidens to enter motherhood, like the older generation did for them.
