Yesterday evening I met up with Sasha Amaya, Rowan H, Gabrielle Haigh and Naomi Woo in the Mill Road Cemetery to do a photoshoot for Aceton.
When Actéon glimpses Diana bathing in the wood, she seeks revenge by transforming him into a deer. Jubilantly aided by the goddess of the hunt, Actéon’s men, unaware of his fate, pursue the expedition on which they together set out, unknowingly bringing tragedy into their midst.
