Saturday

Description

Measuring 10 inches by 10 inches by 2.5 inches, Saturday is named for the Roman god Saturn, the only day of the Gregorian week not named for a Norse god.

However, it may be interesting to suggest a possible substitute mythos.

“What if?” Saturday were named for the Norse god Loki.
The trickster god Loki is a central figure in Norse mythology. Father of giant wolf Fenrir, a profound shape-shifter, of whom many comparisons have been made to the North American mythological figure Raven, Loki is symbolic of man’s transient character, as he develops from a prankster to the malicious figure plotting the death of Baldr(see Baldr's Bits).

Acrylic mediums on a hand shaped wooden panel, Saturday is one of a series of seven pieces in my new Ragnarok Series. Using a masking technique I have been working on for the past several years, Saturday has a subtly textured, taking on a sculptural form. Sealed with a glossy, archival coat of acrylic, this piece is idea for any decor.
