Aphrodite and her son Eros, Goddess and God of Love. Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Aphrodite the Cyprian, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all that the sea: all these love the deeds of rich-crowned Cytherea. / —Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite 5.1–5 More Olympians / / / /
This is contemporary take on the myth of Icarus whose father made him a pair of wax & feather wings so he could fly and escape his imprisonment… but not heeding his fathers advice to not fly near the sun during a trial, Icarus did and his wings melted off and he plunged to his death. It took much research and trials to come up with a ‘convincing’ design for today’s athlete who is out to escape the physical limits of mortal man by using inhumane methods of body alteration to get the advantage over competitors… all in the name of world recognition, fame and a sense of power… although often disguised by truisms like “I liked the challenge” or “we’re pushing the boundaries in the name of science and humanity”. / Here Icarus has had surgical implants to enable his wings to be driven by his body’s diverted blood pressure system connected to pistons which drive the wings. This leaves his hands free for balance, carrying gear etc. Perhaps the very thing we strive for is the very thing that holds us back in our true human quest for meaning and significance. This is the first part of a diptych. The second is the “white board” display of the aftermath of this failed attempt to get off the ground… with a full analysis of what worked, what didn’t and the appeal by the Project Manager to gain more funding from the Corporate sponsor. I’ll try to put it up if anyone’s interested, but it is detailed and pretty hard to see on screen.

Hello, good morning, how you do? / What makes your rising sun so new? / I could use a fresh beginning too / All of my regrets are nothing new / So this is the way that I say I need You / This is the way that I’m Learning to breathe / I’m learning to crawl / I’m finding that You and You alone can break my fall / I’m living again, awake and alive / I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies Hello, good morning, how you been? / Yesterday left my head kicked in / I never, never thought that / I would fall like that / Never knew that I could hurt this bad So this is the way I say I need You / This is the way that I say I love You / This is the way that I say I’m Yours / This is the way, this is the way

A Fairy Song Over hill, over dale, / Thorough bush, thorough brier, / Over park, over pale, / Thorough flood, thorough fire! / I do wander everywhere, / Swifter than the moon’s sphere; / And I serve the Fairy Queen, / To dew her orbs upon the green; / The cowslips tall her pensioners be; / In their gold coats spots you see; / Those be rubies, fairy favours; / In those freckles live their savours; / I must go seek some dewdrops here, / And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear.

Daily I struggle with my faith, / has my God turned his back on me? / For I feel so all alone, / my eyes they do not see; The beauty that I used to cherish, / of the life in which I live, / I now dwell upon problems in life, / Which to the Lord I used to give. Now I dont know where to turn, / Im not sure what to do; / Am I all alone in life? / Lord I long for you! For I miss the daily walk, / that we used to share. / Please tell me you still love me Lord; / Please let me know your there.
Hand drawn using a small statue as reference. watercolour and gouache on arches paper. / Also added gold leaf to the wings.

21/29cm / paper 120g/m,pens this work is featured in Weekly Theme Challenges Quetzalcoatl (Classical Nahuatl: Quetzalcōhuātl pronounced [ke.ʦal.ˈkoː.waːtɬ]) is a benevolent and mythical deity, creator of humanity in the Toltec tradition, predating the Mexica (Aztecs) god. The name is a combination of quetzal, a brightly colored Mesoamerican bird, and coatl, meaning serpent. He is woven into a mythical prince Topiltzin of Tula, who left that kingdom to found Chichen Itza, according to legend. Due to their cyclical view of time and the tendency of leaders to revise histories to support their rule, many events and attributes attributed to Quetzalcoatl are exceedingly difficult to separate from the political leaders that took this name on themselves.[1] Quetzalcoatl is often referred to as The Feathered Serpent and was inseparable from the planet Venus. He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood, of learning and knowledge.[2] Today Quetzalcoatl is arguably the best known deity. However, Quetzalcoatl was one of several important gods in the Aztec pantheon along with the gods Tlaloc, Tezcatlipoca and Huitzilopochtli. Several other Mesoamerican cultures are known to have worshipped a feathered serpent god: At Teotihuacan the several monumental structures are adorned with images of a feathered serpent (Notably the so-called “Citadel and Temple of Quetzalcoatl”[3]). Such imagery is also prominent at such sites as Chichen Itza and Tula. This has led scholars to conclude that the deity called Quetzalcoatl in the Nahuatl language was among the most important deities of Mesoamerica.[4] The god Quetzalcoatl was sometimes conflated with Topiltzin Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl, a semi-legendary 10th century Toltec ruler. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl
