She was really quite extraordinary. I expect her and Pierre's early work, before they became famous, was all done by hand themselves (without graduate students).Craig Steffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389673493933775673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-21202045014492647652009-01-24T06:49:00.000-08:002009-01-24T06:49:00.000-08:00"I thought you'd like to see her"...You thought ri..."I thought you'd like to see her"...<BR/><BR/>You thought right!!!

Curie is definitely a hero and influence.<BR/>I've had some deep trials and nearly lost heart this past year, but the work was always quietly present. Now I find myself falling in love with it again, as if for the the first time.<BR/>You often lend me strength with your frankness and humor. You (likely unknowingly) influence the process that becomes the art <BR/>In other words, you are terrifically cool, bigger inside than out.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410230007560550179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-9990900105223865932009-01-22T17:49:00.000-08:002009-01-22T17:49:00.000-08:00Yes.

Madame Curie more than fit in the Steampunk worlds, she's a <BR/>Major Symbol, as a Pioneer both in Inspired Science and Woman's Rights.<BR/><BR/>Stacey, your words carry so much.

Well said.<BR/><BR/>She is so beautiful Lisa, if I had the cash I'd snatch her up in a minute!<BR/><BR/>I have a great fondness, for the Steampunk aesthetic and have loved all of the work that has come of you visiting that world.

Mme. Curie is su...A beautiful and inspired tribute. Mme. Curie is such a fascinating individual, "lightbearer" seems so overwhelmingly appropriate. Beyond giving us a treatment for cancer, she has always seemed to me the ultimate feminist, in that she smashed through glass ceilings because it was inevitable that she should go that way, not because it was her "cause." <BR/><BR/>Maybe this is why she accomplished so much, because she was moving to the next thing as it became necessary. One of the other things about her that I find so interesting is that she was so autonomous, even though her husband was doing such tremendous works of discovery of his own. Yet, she wasn't possessive in her work, allowing that "light" to be used and accessed by scientists around the world, by not being proprietary about her discoveries. <BR/><BR/>Your sculpture is stunning. I love the softness in her face, and the tilt of her head toward her lights. I believe I remember reading somewhere that she used to carry radioactive isotopes around in test tubes, like an ornament, because she thought the light was pretty, not unlike the bouquet of lights you've placed in her hands. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing it.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341753924567212850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-42737862553224079152009-01-22T12:51:00.000-08:002009-01-22T12:51:00.000-08:00Beauty.
