“Metamorphosis” (1999), Colored Pencil, 30” x 20”
This piece is about the transition to wife and new motherhood. It is loosely designed on the Greek story of Narcissus. The reflection is a representation of who I was, while the female figure (me) is a representation of who I am becoming (wife and new mother). The wolf represents my essence, protected under the watch of the female sculpture. (I sometimes use the wolf as a personal icon.) This sculpture is one of the figures from the Greek Porch of the Six Maidens, where the most sacred relic of Athens was housed, the Palladium, an olive wood effigy of the Goddess Pallas Athena, said not to have been made by human hand, but to have miraculously fallen from heaven. The base of the sculpture reads, “Metamorphosis” in Greek script.
Framed size: 40.5”x32.5”x1.5”
