The Sculpture: My sculpture represents the mythic oracle of Delphi known as Pythia or the Sibyl .My Pythia is shown huddled in her cave listening to the whispered words of the snake and staring off in a trance. She covers her ears and is folded in a near-fetal position in an attempt to shut out the divine voice that continues to overwhelm her senses. In this regard, she also reflects the artist who cannot escape her vision. Pythia conveys to me a sense of being overcome with a vision of something greater than oneself.

This piece is patinated in a blackish-brown to resemble the depths of a cave. The sculpture is bronze coated with metal pigments and highlighted in gold tones, reflecting the divine visionary light that permeates this darkness.
