Description
Bronze. Size (in): 7H x 9W x 15" L with custom-handcrafted black wood base. Real lost- wax bronze. 100% Metal. No fillers.
The Sculpture: Traditionally, artistic renditions of the Arachne myth simply depict a young woman in Greek attire sitting at a loom; more recent works show a spider with a human face. I am not aware of any figurative sculpted representations of the story. The difficulty of making this sculpture lay in capturing the moment of Arachne's transformation into a spider and combining correct human anatomy with arachnid features. The greatest challenge was maintaining an artistic balance between the agonized beauty of a fragile girl and the hideous nature of her transformation, between human and spider anatomy.
For me, Arachne embodies the inescapable nature of artistic passion as well. Even the ultimate escape of death is denied her: Arachne must continue weaving, creating forever.
