Old women

Women used to be important to culture, important and powerful.  Muses, Fates, Furies, Goddesses.  Now most are hustling for low paying jobs in the modern age.  That is my scenario.  This is the Muse Erato, with energy coming from the sun, not sex.  I’ve been collecting parts and pieces of her for months.  This is a first glance.  Many of the elements are from Habitat Restores.  The round plywood that makes her face comes from a local speaker maker.  The brass spacers and Mardi Gras beads come from the Waynesville Restore.   The music stand that is her skeleton came from a trip to the Restore in Statesville.  The tubes come from Gregg’s work, and some of the paint is from Animal Hosp. of Waynesville.  When you’ve gone from a Muse, to working for .77 on the dollar, you have to be thrifty.
