Güdrid


My latest effort named Güdrid as the name came to me when I was  pressed to name the piece.  Originally i wanted to give it the name of Adara.  Güdrid is a fitting name as it is the feminine form of Güdrun and means battle.  The work deals with destruction and aftermath and the fragility of recognition.  often we find ourselves mere moments from destroying all that we value.  the gasmask is symbolic of walls people raise to defend themselves from other people.
