Taming of the Gorgons

This design was based on Greek architectural elements and is constructed out of a variety of gold apparel fabrics chosen for their shimmery reflective quality. The large sprouting feathers at the top remind me of a calm, civilized, classical version of the snake haired Medusa, one of the three monstrous Gorgon sisters of Greek myth.

2013, 18 x 24, $350
