spinning_monsters

Like most children , I still feel a certain fascination for monsters. As we know, every culture has its own fantastic personifications of ideas and myths. So I thought about the famous monsters of western societies, the sins, that had inspired so many people.

A monk called Evagrius Ponticus listed them at the end of the 4th century – there were 8 sins in the beginning - serving as a guide for his fellow monks, it prepared and warned them about the difficulties that could assail them in their retreats and distract them in their effort of contemplation. The feeling about the seven sins changes like society change and moral change, but the difficulties,
as the monk in the 4th century would call them, have remained.

Making the spinning monsters, with their head modeld in clay and their sacked bodies, I felt somewhat sympathetic towards them ... some were hard to stand ... in any case ... each one of them showed to be an impressive interlocutor.
