Grendel's Mother

11 in x 8 in (approximate)
Inspired by my own little monster, this piece is an exploration of motherhood through the enduring character of Grendel’s Mother from the 11th century poem Beowulf. Even though she is typically portrayed as a monster, rarely has her perspective of vengeful mother been examined.
