'Gossip' is a sand-cast bronze with traditional patina, enlarged from a smaller study that was 10 inches high. This sculpture of two women paused in a moment of exchange before they continue with their everyday tasks, leaves the viewer to wonder what tidbit of information these stoic women have shared. Pettigrew’s work has been described as stylized with emphasis on simplicity. Martha Pettigrew states, “If I have achieved my goal as a sculptor the viewer will feel an emotional attachment and sense the pride, dignity and serenity of my subjects.”
