Herodias

presented the head of john the baptist. murdered him? later a cult developed around her. not sure of the details, but i was interested in her as an image of womanhood, because i was in a band whose imagery dealt with the cult of true womanhood. i may have presented the idea for the imagery to the band, but not in any way that made sense to anyone but me. i find that these kinds of images would never really work well in a group setting, especially one intent on reaching a large audience. it can be shared with other individuals, but it is very intimate, my ideas and feelings, because it's all wrapped up in actual relationships in my life that are real and not just art. those kinds of things shouldn't be tampered with too much.
