plastic trash & #seashells
From Duke Riley’s “Death to the Living: Long Live Trash” show at Brooklyn Museum
“Sailor's valentines were a popular maritime craft in the 19th century. These seashell mosaics were arranged in geometric patterns inside small, octagonal wooden boxes. Riley's versions are made using found plastics, reflecting a growing scarcity of seashells on beaches and a concurrent increase in plastic pollution.”
"#Iolaos, who shared the labours of #Herakles and fought by his side, was beloved of him and Aristotle says that even in his day lovers plighted their faith at Iolaos' tomb.
It was natural, then, that the band should also be called sacred, because even #Plato calls the lover a divine friend."

"#Dionysos was the eromenos (youthful lover) of #Chiron, from whom he learned the songs and dances, the Bacchic rites and the initiations into the mysteries."

It's the Day of Helios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! ☀️
Boreas and Helios had a contest: whoever could strip a traveller of his clothes would win.
"Boreas blew with all his might, but the traveller only wrapped his cloak around him more tightly. Helios shone with all his warmth. The traveller took off one garment after another, and at last bathed in a stream naked."
Aesop, Fables

"There is some pleasure in loving a youth, since once in fact even the son of Kronos [#Zeus], king of the immortals, fell in love with #Ganymedes, seized him, carried him off to Olympos, and made him divine, keeping the lovely bloom of youth."
Theognis, Fragment 1.1345

🇪🇸 #MosaicMonday Estoy disfrutando este kit de mosaico histórico que compré hace unas semanas en Mosaicos y Teselas. Es la primera vez que hago algo así y la verdad es que me está gustando más de lo que esperaba. Cometí algunos errores pero no estoy descontenta con lo que llevo hecho hasta ahora.
🇬🇧 #MosaicMonday I am enjoying this historic mosaic kit that I bought a few weeks ago in Mosaicos y Teselas (a Spanish store). It's the first time I've done something like this and the truth is that I'm liking it more than I expected. I made some mistakes but I'm not unhappy with what I've done so far.
