Shawzin’s gentle family groups are carved in stone and have a special kind of energy that shows the loving relationship between mother and child. A number of Shawzin’s works portray the figures rising out of a common base which creates a compelling image. Some are shown in circular forms as if they are both part of the same being. The inter-relationship of the forms seems to portray their unity as well as their individuality. The inner spaces are as sensitively designed as the forms themselves.

In all of these masterfully created compositions there remains an impressive interplay of form between the figures. Recalling the seated and lying sculptural forms by Henry Moore, one can always find distinctive and impressive compositions in each sculpture. They are sensitive images that show both playfulness and loving relationships.
