Ariadne Four
By Susan Banks

“Ariadne Four” returns to the Myth of Ariadne with a slight suggestion of the Cretan Labyrinth, reworking decorations of Minoan pots [Heraklion Museum]. Ariadne was far from a minor player in Greek Mythology; here disorienting patterns, might fittingly ward off the evil eye following her reprehensible behaviour. The painting is a contemporary and playful response the story.
