Botanic Gardens, Earthmother

'Earthmother' is a figurative sculpture by Helen Leete in the Royal Botanic Gardens, unveiled in 1993. It sits on a rocky outcop overlooking Sydney Harbour, near the Sydney Opera House. The sculpture which imitates a natural rock formation is made from earth and sand, laid in strata.
