Why Am I Sculpting a Medusa?

She is the most terrifying figure of Antiquity. She has snake-like hair and a gaze that petrifies. She is also an idea, one of the most represented characters in art, dating back 1,800 years. She remains a vivid and ever-evolving figure. The first mention of this mythological character appears in Homer’s work in the 8th century BCE, where she is referred to as the Gorgons.
