Abstract

This thesis seeks to describe and illuminate the personal mythology in my work, from my own narrative to the cultural and historical references, pattern and design, ancient myth and legend that inhabit the work. The eight symbols used in my Graduate Thesis Exhibit, Creature Alterations, Myth and Transformations, and their association with the icon, fetish and totem will be discussed in depth. In the following pages I will also explore the impact of the printmaking process, materials and its lasting effect on my artistic sensibilities.
