Description:
The characters of 'Hypnos', the Greek god of sleep and his son Morpheus, god of dreams had long been a source of fascination since I saw reproductions of Hypnos in my art history books long ago. Because only a mask of Hypnos remained, I wondered how his son Morpheus and the rest of these deities might have appeared. The mystery of why I chose to explore this theme which was in progress when a dramatic family medical crisis occurred remains unsolved, but will no doubt find its way into future explorations of this theme. A clue to these future images came in the form of a visit to The British Museum in 2002 where I was happily surprised to see the actual Hypnos mask staring me from around the corner of the Elgin Marbles!
