Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. Louisa May Alcott

'Leda and the Swan' is the myth about Zeus transforming himself into a swan and seducing the beautiful Leda who eventually slept with him. It is said that from this union, she produced two golden eggs.
I found the illustrations and sculptures depicting this myth very passionate and love the idea of the bird-man/god making love with a human woman.
These pieces are fired in an electric kiln and mounted on the wall (in three places).
