Description: A theme I revisit in my work is a woman 'Wearing the World'. Earlier works have had the 'Gaia-like' Goddess depicted in a globe dress, presiding over the earth. Recently I've produced this watercolour and collage representing Andromeda - a northern constellation sat between Pisces and Cassiopeia. Andromeda is also depicted as a legendary princess. Her father bragged that she was more beautiful than the Nereid sea nymphs. This angered Poseidon who sent a sea monster upon land to ravage her. Perseus was captivated by her beauty and decided to rescue her. Perseus then produced the head of Medusa and the sea monster looked at Medusa and turned into stone. When Andromeda eventually died she was placed in the sky by Athena and is fittingly located between the Perseus constellation and the Cassiopeia constellation.
