Reply #15: My picture of kali durga stomping on Ken Lay and the Enron E. [View All]

The Houston Women's Caucus for Art was invited to create art for an Indian art seminar at the Museum of Fine arts.
There was a guy giving lectures on Hindu temples and it was like being back in art history in college. it was fun.

Six people made art on the theme of Hindu/Houston. Hinduism interacting with Houston.

So I painted a young Barbie-like Kali Durga (in a blue business suit, NOT with blue skin) riding her tiger and stomping on Ken Lay and the Enron E. The silver building rose up behind her. She had the skull necklace and earrings and six arms. The three left arms had the dagger, the bell and shiva's trident. The right arms had a mirror, for vanity, a red stapler (homage to Office Space) and a calculator that said "Ch.11". she also had the wild hair that indicates a wrathful deity. I had to do research in two or three books to look up all this symbolism.

Everybody laughed when they projected the picture of it.

Another lady made a mirror with mosaic around it that said "You must be the change you wish to see in the world".
which is a Gandhi quote.

Another person did a set of interlocking triangles like a star of david with a ball in 3 corners, representing quarks, with the beginning of the Rig Veda Creation Hymn in the corner.

I've also been a musician for many years but that would take far longer to tell.

I intend to do more updated versions of Hindu Gods.
