Dreaming of Icarus
Submitted by Superhuman on Tue, 01/15/2008 - 5:11pmLast night I has a vivid dream. I come into a room and see an ex-girlfriend I haven't seen in forever. She is blowing glass, which is weird since I'm a glass blower and she is not. But she is using soft glass which is different from what I do. But anyway she is sculpting a torso and moving
smoothly with expert like gestures. She has someone add a bit of glass for the nose and sculpts it into a realistic
face. I was astonished at her skill. She then lifts the torso and a gaffer brings over previously sculpted wings. The wings were small and frayed (I didn't know it at the time but "melted") Then the final move she attached a sun in between the wings. That was it. Remember thinking in the dream is that some greek god like prometheus? when I awoke I knew it wasn't Prometheus because he doen't have wings, but i didn't know who did. I thought maybe the sun meant it was Apollo. I googled searched images of Prometheus and Apollo. I then remembered a character from God of War 2 Icarus. I searched for images but none quite matched my vision but after reading the myth I realized it is definitely Icarus. So I found this place when searching Images of Icarus, since I'm an artist I bet I'll fit right in.
