From the Estate of the late Patricia J. Shaw, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Patricia Shaw spent the bulk of her career practicing as a lawyer. Eventually, she left her career to turn to sculpture and created thereafter. Shaw said "Most people are submerging rather than emerging, yet here I am struggling like a youngster on the threshold of a new career. I am particularly interested in the human face and the human mind behind it. Representations and/or references to these almost always appear in my work."

"My work is sometimes surrealistic or even fantastic. Other times, it is very straightforward and almost literal as to what it is trying to convey. At times, the meaning has been expressed unconsciously and even I can not be sure of the exact meaning of the piece."

Good estate condition.
