Helen of Troy I and II, 1983, were both made out of the broken parts of Balzae. In the Greek myth, Helen was captured by the Trojans. She was said to be the most beautiful woman who ever lived, and a flotilla of 1,000 ships was launched to save her. Helen of Troy I will presumably be the first sculpture that launches a thousand ships. Helen of Troy II, while still the same shape, is painted partly white and raised on a pyramid type base. It is almost as if in this second version we are allowed to peek under her skirt. Troy finally fell after a horse.
