“Phaedra Three” touches on motifs on Minoan pots and detail on a later ancient Greek Krater that illustrates the Myth of Phaedra, including fabrics, structures and Gongoneions. The bronze central motif refers to the age when the myth is set [Minoan Crete]. The painting is intentionally painterly and untidy suggesting old, unstable surfaces.
