Delaine Le Bas: Me As Medusa (2024)
We have collaborated with Delaine Le Bas and Peacock & The Worm in Aberdeen to produce this extraordinary photopolymer plate etching on 300 gsm Somerset Velvet Soft White paper.
Entitled Me As Medusa, this beautiful etching also features hand gilding by master printer Jodi Le Bigre, and hand stitching with gold thread by Delaine Le Bas.
Each print is signed and numbered by the artist.
Medusa is a common totem for Le Bas, appearing in embroideries, paintings and installations. Medusa's story is very much misrepresented and misunderstood, having been turned into a snake-headed 'gorgon' after being the victim of Poseidon's assault in Athena's temple. Le Bas' Medusa often refers visually to Carravagio's famous self portrait as Medusa. In this etching, Le Bas places her own disembodied head into the frame, screaming in rage for all those cursed for a wrong in which they were the victim and not the perpetrator. It should also be noted however, that snake venom has also long been used as a ritual hallucinogen, and as such the snake is symbolic in many ancient cultures of esoteric knowledge and occult power, and of Goddess worship and the Divine Feminine.
