Standing naked on a plinth
she commands –
…I forget the concept
There is only herness
I am a little lamb
looking up at her

Note:
This piece has for a prompt ‘Aphrodite in Aulis’, after one of my favourite David Jones paintings. This was the first attempt at generating the right piece, and nothing beat the fragmented animal Venus of this painting. I tried Caryatids and Doric Columns, but nothing came to link up this central feminine monument. It carries on a palette and movement from the last piece as well.
