“Drawing Blood from Stone”
This is a personal piece I’ve been working on for months, it’s taken me a long time to learn to work with colour.
This image came to my mind fully formed one day. It’s a visual manifestation of how I’ve been treated these past few years by those who I thought I could love and trust.
There are various tellings of Medusa’s story. The one I’m working with says that she was punished by Athena for having an affair with Poseidon. Her only crime was seeking love. And from then on she could no longer be loved, for every heart around her turned to stone.
