Wisdom: A Woman At Peace With Herself
August 13, 2005

Another Friday Illustrator linked to an artist, which I checked out. Thus, I was looking at the woman-oriented art of Monica Sjöö, when I got inspired to pick up a pen...

A woman at peace with herself has both her nuturing aspects (seedlings, preparing food, flowers growing) and powerful aspects (represented by the flame) in her hands. One eye appears closed, to suggest the inward looking eye, while the other suggests the outward looking eye. Part of her hair flies wildly loose, to suggest a free sexuality, while the other half is rolled up, to suggest restraint when necessary. Also Set is making a small appearance upon the wall behind her.
