The rounded female form in 'The Listener' kneels and holds a bird to her ear, listening intently to its message. It is an alluring example of this artist’s ability to create sculptures which seem to unite with the soul of nature. About her work it has been written, "a Petersen sculpture strives to be powerful, sensuous, larger than life, a conformation of depths."
