Greek stories play a central role in our understanding of ourselves as humans born into Western culture. They start with an amazing creation mythology and continue through Homer’s famous accounts of the Trojan War. Tragedies and comedies, as well as artworks, are inspired by the characters first introduced by the ancient Greeks. I have been reading and re-reading Giorgios Seferis’s treatment of the stories, as well as returning to Homer and have worked to capture some of these inspiring sagas in dance, drawing, photography and painting. This specific series of drawings emerged from experiments with layers of pastels, charcoal and pencil on paper.
