I have created only 3 of this colour in this design series. These are Gorgoneion shields, used as a symbol for divine birth an protection. With this work I am experimenting with the notion of the female gaze and it’s link to female monstrosity within a historical context. The gorgon assumes godlike attributes, to imply divine birth and protection, her piercing gaze has the power to turn those who gaze upon her to stone. For Freud the Medusa a was a “petrifying force,” reducing men to hysteria based of a sexual fear of the defiant female body.
