Valerie Mallory working on her "These Three Sisters of Fate" installation. "This sculpture revisits the modern Greek folklore about The Sisters of Fate. The Fates are goddesses who visit newborns and weave the tapestry of their life to come. The Fates ultimately determine the events of this new person’s future. They decide when to cut the cord of the tapestry marking a person’s death. This is a tale about the poignant balance between destiny and free will, and mysteries that lie beyond understanding."
