Drawing for Kirke ΦΑΙΝΩ Drawing

This drawing forms part of a set of drawings created while producing a series of sculptural assemblages titled "A Catalogue of Shapes". The aim of this series was to depict the ancient Greek poet Homer not as a person, but as a compositional system through the creation a series of composite object portraits of twelve characters drawn from the Iliad and the Odyssey. Kirke ΦΑΙΝΩ is a representation of the Goddess Circe. Her transformative aspect (she turns Odysseus' men into swine) is expressed by means of the Bundt mould.The function of the drawing is to establish such compositional aspects as proportion, colour, pattern, etc. of the various found and fabricated elements I plan on using in the sculpture.
