Odyssey 2003

Dessa Kirk 

   
 

 

Dessa Kirk's entry, Daphne, came about following a revealing talk she gave about being involved in the creative pursuit of sculpting. Known for making extremely large flowers out of Cadillac parts, this steel piece derives its inspiration from the Greek myth of Daphne. As a satyr is pursing her, Daphne calls out to Zeus to protect her from her would-be captor. Zeus responds by turning her into a hybrid flower-woman. Her face (actually a mold of Kirk's own face) looks into the heavens in gratitude to the power of Zeus.
