Leda and the Swan
Snow Gallery
Verbier
This is a new gallery above Verbier in the alpine regions, built by Starfarer and being filled by Jaqi, with an exhibition of historic images from over thousands of years, of Leda and the Swan, a Greek myth. The Snow Gallery is 12 levels, the size needed for this exhibition, when full. The first 3 levels are now hung, with the courtship scenes. The flurry of feathers follows later. When the show is complete with around 600 images, the time will also arrive to write an essay on the Leda and the Swan myth, and the so many ways the theme is approach by artists over millennia. Inspecting the first 25%, you may also wonder why Leda and the Swan is so appealing to so many generations. I would love to know what you think of it all. My poem ..... Feathers ..... found in the blog, is my take on the myth, with a modern twist.
A place to reflect.
