"Big Mama" is a busy woman. She does all kinds of work: field work, house work, raising babies, chopping wood, and cutting and packing vegetables to sell. No time to sit down for "Big Mama." She is fifty-nine now and capable of out-working youngsters half her age.
The base for this piece consists of a piece of wood originally used in Savannah’s old City Market area. Its next life was as a bleacher step at Savannah State University. Finally it has found a home as the base for the sturdy "Big Mama." |
