beginning of an offering plate for Aphrodite. I spent 3 hours carving waves into base ! I can't decide if I want to decorate the top yet, so for now it's plain

not an uncommon idea to come across but I'm so fascinated by how much about this view of ancient history/culture/myth tradition is unintentionally & straightforwardly revealed by the phrase "and therefore the origin" here -- not just the assumption that these things exist in a strictly linear progression ("greece" exists then "rome" exists) where "greece" and "rome" are the only players (where does pre roman italy fit into this worldview? what room is there here for the influence of ancient north africa and west asia on greece? these places are effectively erased off the map), but the idea of greece as an "origin" of "art and mythology", that in greece it somehow developed whole cloth & completely undiluted by the sort of "cultural borrowing" they perceive the romans are doing. I always find this sort of view of greece as contextless & devoid of movement and trade until it comes time to pass the things they've apparently independently invented on to rome (or have it stolen as some would see it) frustrating, as well as the view of rome as a sort of copy pasted greece with no other influence or separate or preexisting traditions, really frustrating & honestly occasionally kind of sinister tbh

pottery updates <3
I'm praying the colors on Isis turn out the way I envision (they'll be much deeper than they appear now), but it's in the hands of the kiln Gods now. I hope it'll be finished within the next two weeks, depending on the kiln loads.
the pot on the right almost gave me carpal tunnel, but it was worth it. it should appear a soft blue color when it's finished being glazed ! the flow of the lines is so pleasing to my eyes 🫶

the thing about Dionysus is that he will reach down elbow-deep into your heart and pull out things you didn't even realize had been buried there
