Penelope's Web: paintings and poetry woven from the thread of myth

 by Karen Bennett and Sarah Minnis

 

 

Drawing upon legends from Classical, Eastern European, Amerindian and Oriental cultures, these paintings and poems explore perennial themes, such as motherhood, love, death, sexuality and power. Together, they weave a tapestry of mythologised experience in which the traditional tales have been unravelled and reworked in the spirit of our times.
