Jessica Allison-Bourne | “Hecate”
This media file is attached to: Drawing
During this term I focused on reimagining mythic characters and archetypes in my own original style. This is an ink drawing of the Greek Goddess Hecate (Hekate). I included symbols that relate to her story, most notably the crossroads that she was said to protect, and the torches she used to guide Demeter into the Underworld to retrieve Persephone. In this piece, I experimented with different uses of positive and negative space and highlights and shadows. Metallic gold enamel paint was the final addition, which served to create more depth and call attention to key areas.
