This is a follow up to my pics "Wedding under Maman" in a way. This is Maman-- a looming, mammoth steel sculpture of a female spider by Louise Bourgeois, over 30 feet high, here taken from below from the side of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Maman protects her eggs (made of white marble) housed in her steel cage of a womb from which 8 slender yet fear-inducing steel legs are spreading down to our direction, to the ground. I was standing there for a long time, feeling fear, awe, and also marvel over the great sculpture itself.
