Diana, Goddess of the Moon

Researching deeper into the characters in Ovid's Metamorphosis I found that Diana was not only the Goddess of the hunt but also the Goddess of the moon. Finding more imagery of Diana by artists showed crescent moons placed upon her head almost like a crown. It is by the moon and this sense of wearability that I intend to take my art. Perhaps creating a sculpture that can also be seen as a garment, experimenting with scale and styles within a sculpture perimeter.
