About
Sisyphus, Steel Orbs, Wendy Ross, Cameron House, 8710 Cameron Street
Do you know your Greek myths? Cleverly entitled Sisyphus, Wendy Ross’s steel orbs grace the front of Cameron House. In mythology, King Sisyphus believed himself as clever as Zeus and as a punishment for his pride and trickery, was made to endlessly roll a huge boulder up a steep hill. Zeus enchanted the boulder to roll away from King Sisyphus before he reached the top which cursed him to an eternity of useless efforts and unending frustration.
