My Daphne
Kate Just. My Daphne, 2007.
Description:
The myth of Apollo’s unrequited love of Daphne, and her chosen transformation into a laurel tree has been interpreted by a range of artists. Just’s My Daphne is encased in a binding, protective, knitted surface and depicts the last moment of metamorphosis. A single fair arm - the only human vestige - reaches out, patting for the place where her head might be.
