Stabat Mater

Monica Oppen

Prize Year:: 59th (2010)
Dimensions:: 59x150x61cm
Medium:: printmaking/book
Price:: $2500 - enquire about this artwork

The Stabat Mater is a chant dating from the 13th century. Its intensely devotional fervour focuses on the suffering of Jesus' mother at the foot of the cross. In this work I shift the focus to mothers who have lost their sons in world conflicts; past, present and future.
