Stone Blind | Rope
My inspiration for this piece comes from the story of Medusa. She may not be the monster she first appears to be.
In ‘Stone Blind’ by Natalie Haynes, Medusa is originally a beautiful girl who is cursed by Athena to have snakes for hair as a punishment for being violated by Poseidon in her temple.
This act explores the idea that Medusa’s rage may in fact have been justified and how contradictory feelings of fear, shame and anger can coexist after an event leaves you changed against your will.
