Embroidery hoop artwork. Hand embroidered head of Medusa after Caravaggio’s baroque painting of the subject. Embroidered on repurposed, ink-dark blue denim in white and red thread. Hoop measures approx. 7.5” across and hangs from a gold tone metal chain.
Over the centuries, the mythological figure of Medusa has stood for many things. Fear, revenge, beauty, rage. Of her three sisters, Medusa was the only mortal, and was slain. But Medusa’s power lived on after her death, with stories of her drops of blood spawning coral in the Red Sea, venomous vipers that terrorize the Sahara, and the Amphisbaena, a dragon-like creature with two heads, one where a tail would be. Medusa has been ascribed both lethal hideousness and great beauty, and played the roles of both victim and aggressor in different stories. Powerful, misunderstood, able to destroy those who perceive her, mother to fearsome magic. Cue “I’m a bitch, I’m a mother, I’m a child, I’m a lover…”
