With her robe hanging open, and her hands clasped in prayer, this sculpture of Karen Ann reminds me of the pseudo-sexual religious exploration found in the  "Sisters of Mercy".

I wanted the robe to have a loose Native American Indian feel to it.

I've often used the repeating hands, as a symbol of a halo, offering the benediction.  These were added in as an after thought, as was the cross placed mid-chest.
