Tracing Medusa

cast unfired clay and graphite
10 x 9cm
Clay and graphite are the ingredients of pencil lead. Cast as Medusa's severed head, this object is both sculpture and drawing tool. Dragged across paper, with eyes closed, she leaves a mark. She was made monstrous to be avoided, her gaze a curse. Here, through touch rather than sight, she makes something visible.
