Stone & Sinew

220 x 150cm Hand-cut stencil, spray painted wall. The statue of Perseus with the Head of Medusa refers to the mythological story of the incident in which the hero has put an end to Medusa turning people into stone. This interpretation depicts the statue crumbling apart to reinforce that the image is in fact a statue and to explore the irony that the moment Medusa's curse was put to an end has itself become a statue. Medusas head remains intentionally intact.
