    Description

    DON’T KILL THE GOOSE! This idiom originates from one of Aesop’s fables in which a farmer and his wife had a goose that laid one golden egg every day. The couple decided to butcher the goose as they thought its insides must be made of gold as well and then they can have all the golden eggs it held within. On killing the goose, they found that the bird was just the same as every other goose on the inside. A simple story of greed…happened many years ago but lives on forever with mankind~

    Concept

    Maidy Morhous expresses herself through the medium of bronze which allows her to portray the extremes of the soft flow of water to the harsh asphalt pavement of our world. The artwork encompasses the pop theme of presenting commonplace objects as fine art. It is meant to engage the viewer and allow them to contemplate and pull from within, and for a moment disengage from the outside world.

    Referred to as contemporary still life sculptures Morhous continually searches to portray her environment in the world today. These sculptures expose the view to and pull them in to react and question what is being viewed – be it life and one’s existence, the world’s plight or just to bring a smile. Idiomatic titles prompt metaphorical interpretations to these works with hints at multilayered meanings.

    Maidy Morhous also expresses herself through the medium of acrylic and oil; whether totally abstract, or an expression of abstraction by pulling in elements of nature. Her paintings are meant to engage the viewer and allow them to contemplate and pull from within, and for a moment disengage from the outside world.
