Metamorphoses by Constanze Moll

July 24th, 2009

Constanze Mol is an illustrator based in Austria where she graduated from the Arts Institute at Bournemouth in June 2009.

 “The Roman poet Ovid wrote an epic by the name of Metamorphoses, weaving together various Greek, Roman, and older myths into one reasonably cohesive narrative. Its general theme is, unsurprisingly, metamorphosis; physical transformation as the last and most powerful expression of some sort of internal sea change.
This project deals with the under- and misrepresentation of the epic’s female characters, who are portrayed as either disempowered or mad, frequently even monstrous. It’s a reinterpretation of these twelve stories, and an attempt at reappropriation.”

This was her Final Major Project in the 3rd year of university. She came up with the concept, did the illustrations, and designed and bound the book.
