Welcome to a forgotten corner of the ancient forest.
Continuing on the theme of yesterday on birth I include a picture of a sculpture by Ron Mueck entitled "Mother and Baby 2001"
One critic described it thus
the most unflinchingly affectionate portrait of childbirth you'll probably ever see
The Green Man finds it hard to disagree.

National Gallery of Australia has an exquisite piece entitled Pregnant Woman. Standing 2.5 metres high and at full term pregnancy it is uncompromising and at least a little confronting. Click here to see an image.
There are many jewels hidden amongst the leaves in this forgotten part of the ancient forest. Spend some time browsing and you are sure to find some. Click here or continue your search below
