Mutate Don Juan

Sculpted clay, snow white glazed.

A revenge,

a sculpted anger
for modern never changing
'Don Juans'

A rose for an eye and a snake for a phallus.

A reference to Freudian psychoanalysis.

Strong enough,

though with no arms to hold anything.

A wing can't make you fly.

You do need two, you know.

A promising tensed foot, 

can't do much if it's based on the wrong limb.

The rest for you to discover.

Το παρόν γλυπτό, είναι φτιαγμένο από πηλό και βερνικωμένο με λευκό χρώμα, ούτως ώστε να μοιάζει με πορσελάνινο. Το ξεκίνησα τον Ιανουάριο σε κάτι μαθήματα γλυπτικής, με μοντέλο έναν άνδρα και αποφάσισα να πάρω με αυτό τον τρόπο την εκδίκησή μου.

Το ονομάζω Παραμορφωμένος Δον Ζουάν.
Αλλά στην ουσία, αντικατοπτρίζει όχι την ομορφία του, παρά την αλαζονεία του και τη ματαιοδοξία του.

Εκδίκηση.
Πλασμένος Θυμός για τους μοντέρνους μεν (men?χιχι),
απαράλλακτους δε "Δον Ζουάνς".

Ένα ρόδο για μάτι και ένα φίδι για φαλλό.
Καθαρή αναφορά στην ψυχανάλυση.

Δυνατός, μα χωρίς χέρια να κρατήσει οτιδήποτε.

Ένα φτερό δεν αρκεί για να πετάξεις. Χρειάζεσαι δύο...

Ενα υποσχόμενο γεμάτο ενέργεια πόδι,
δε μπορεί να προσφέρει πολλά αν είναι φυτρωμένο σε λάθος μέλος.

Τα υπόλοιπα σας αφήνω να τα βρείτε μόνοι σας.

Daphne and Apollo (Sculpt and Nature)

CARVING SOAPSTONE

(Γλυπτική σε αλάβαστρο)

The pot is just to keep it poetic and in place. Being a good pot...

The plant is an unfortunate bay, that is no longer alive.

Long live the bay! In Greek, the bay is called Daphne and thus the link between the plant, the sculpt and the title (you can read below the summary of Ovid's-Metamorphoses "Apollo & Daphne")

Η γλάστρα είναι για να συμπληρώσει το θέμα με τρόπον τί ποιητικόν. Κοινώς η γλάστρα εν προκειμένω παίζει τον αυτό εαυτό της, τη γλάστρα. Το φυτό, ναι σωστά μαντέψατε είναι δάφνη. Μαραμένη δυστυχώς.

Έμνευση θέματος από τον μύθο-ποίημα του Οβιδίου (συλλογή Μεταμορφώσεις) "Απόλλων και Δάφνη"

Book 1: Apollo and Daphne

Apollo chided Cupid for using a bow to ignite love. Apollo claimed that the bow was his creation and best suited for his purposes, not the games of the love. Cupid avenged his slighted honor byshooting Apollo with a golden-pointed arrow that induces love andshooting Daphne, daughter of the river Peneus, with a lead-pointed arrow that repels love. Apollo fell in love with Daphne, but she wanted to be like Diana, virgin goddess of the hunt. So when Apollo called out to her, she ran away from him. He chased her and kept trying to explain who he was and that he was in love with her, but Daphne refused to stop running.

As she ran through the brambles and brush of the forest, her skin was scratched, and Apollo called out to her to run carefully so that she would not hurt herself. Apollo followed only a few steps behind her and she was losing strength. Then she saw her father the river ahead and called out to him to change her and destroy her beauty that had brought such a plight upon her. Peneus changed his daughter into a laurel tree. Apollo still loved her and because she could not be his wife, he made the laurel his sacred tree. He wrapped his bow and lyre inlaurel wreaths and wore it in his hair. He also made it the honorary decoration of the conquering lords of Rome. (From here)
