Wendy Stavrianos

I decided to do my podcast on Wendy Stavrianos. I find her work very interesting, and love the colours, simulated texture and archetypes she uses.

This is Wendy Stavrianos's Mantle for a ritual dance. This is my favourite painting. I thought it symbolised a patriarch. It is a very strong figure which portrays not only belief and knowledge but also power. The colours portray strength, and the simulated texture Stavrianos has created makes the clothes look as though they are made of metal. I felt that the colour, symbolism and simulated texture really encasulated its meaning.


I have researched Wendy Stavrionos and her work, and handed my podcast in late last term. I think I was able to fully understand her techniques and reasonings and was able to see connections between her works and archetypes.
