Graphite on paper
66" x 36" (72.5" x 41.25" x 2" framed)
This drawing was inspired Greek Mythology, specifically the ninth labor of Hercules to bring back the belt of Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons. Hippolyta agreed to gift her magical girdle to him, but was killed by Hercules when he saw her army rushing in, mistakenly thinking she was being abducted. In my depiction of this allegory I have changed the narrative, showcasing the Amazon women as victorious in the battle against Hercules and his army. Hercules is about to be clobbered by the Queen, and his men are retreating. Altering this outcome was not just satisfying, but invigorating for me.
