Hera
2006, ceramics
18"h x 14"w x 5"d
| In Greek mythology, Hera was Zeus' jealous wife. A powerful woman, she channeled her energies in ways that were ultimately damaging to herself. In this torso, the centres of the flowers are carpet tacks, piercing through the clay to the inside. Hera's choker necklace (detachable, wearable) is created from a blackened raku 'flower' made with silver, turquoise and glass beads. |
