greater dionysia



An antlered woman is in a Bosch-like garden with fantastical creatures. The masculine antlers contrast with the woman’s feminine features. The woman’s bust can be viewed as large, as she towers over the scene, or small, as the flowers and foliage are on the same scale as the woman. Setting the assemblage on a piano stool was inspired by Nick Cave’s assemblages on chairs.
