Unravelled Intentions

Unraveled Intentions                  (14.5in x 6in x 7in)

Penelope, the faithful wife of Odysseus, thwarts the advances of suitors during her husband’s twenty year absence by saying she must first weave a burial shroud for her father.  She weaves for all to see during the day then secretly unravels her day’s work at night until Odysseus returns.  Penelope embodies finding power to control your fate where others would find only powerlessness.
