In Greek mythology, Medea was a sorceress and spurned lover of Jason who went to desperate measures to get revenge. In this painting, Sandys has included the familiar iconograpy of Medea and Jason's story, such as the Golden Fleece and (one presumes) the Argo in the background, but the main focus of the painting is of Medea casting the spell which will begin her revenge. After the birth of their children Jason divorced Medea to marry Glauce. Here, we see Medea casting the spell which put a curse on the robe and coronet which she sent to her rival. The robe burst into flames when Glauce put it on, killing her, her father, and everyone else in the palace except Jason. Medea then murdered two of their children in front of him, which no doubt the distraction and fraughtness in Medea's appearance alludes to. 1925P105

If Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a sculptor, he would create something that resembles Jason Hopkins's chillingly fleshy-looking digital art. Hopkins's work looks believably 3D, so much so that he refers to it as "digital sculpture." He imagines a next phase of genetic engineering where human bodies become malleable and subject to the whims of scientists working towards the next phase of technological "progress." He renders geometric, manmade-looking structures and coats them with a skin-like texture that triggers a gut reaction of revulsion. But according to the artist, that's the point: "The digital sculptures are a fusion of geometric, architectural and biological abstract forms — a bleak evolutionary future where biotechnology has been used to make perfect posthuman beings."
