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 implement. Dragged across paper, her tendrils leave marks behind. She was made monstrous to be avoided, her gaze a curse. Here, through touch rather than sight, she makes something visible.
