My fascination for mythology continues on the canvas with Medusa who is a Gorgon.
When I painted the background of this artwork, I knew it would turn into something with snakes. The paint had that way about it.
 
After a month of sitting on the shelf, Medusa came out onto the page. I used acrylics, watercolour crayons, poscas and gel pens for her the marks making. The circle border was made by stamping a huge gumnut.
 
There was a blank spot at the bottom which needed filling in and I couldn't work out what to do with it. I searched for Medusa quotes and came across some Nikita Gill poems. She perfectly puts into words what I try to do with my Goddess Art. She rewrites the stories from a woman's point of view, when reading it, it makes perfect sense. I highly recommend looking her up.
From Gorgon ( A letter to the Patriarchy), the quote I used was " Perhaps the truth about Gorgons is they are just women, women who do not bend to the world or fit into the narrow mould you want them to."
 
I have always felt like I was outside the box so this speaks to me.
I'd love to know what comes up for you.
