Anansi
Meets Midas
Many
cultures have the tradition of a Trickster in their lore; Loki in Norse
mythology, Raven & Coyote in Native American tales, B’rer Rabbit in
American folktales.
I
like Anansi, the tricky spider from Africa. I believe a Trickster would be
tempted by the Golden Touch of King Midas, sure that the inherent trickiness
would prevail over the unfortunate outcomes others’ have.
My
piece represents the result of Anansi meeting King Midas—the outcome is still
in doubt.
