The print assemblages that Maureen is showing below are inspired by her travels to Greece and Cyprus.

​

The images refer to the ancient myth of the birth of Aphrodite from the foam of the sea in a beautiful bay in Cyprus . The images are printed onto canvas which is lashed with cord through eyelets onto the frames; this evokes  the ten years of Ulysses wandering the seas after the fall of Troy.
