ERDEI SKILLFULLY JUXTAPOSES MULTIPLE REFERENCES, SEAMLESSLY WEAVING TOGETHER GREEK AND ROMAN DEITIES WITH THE ROBUST 2-DIMENSIONAL HUMAN ILLUSTRATION STYLE OF ANCIENT EGYPT CREATING A VISUAL TAPESTRY THAT NARRATES STORIES OF THE PAST. EACH FOLDING SCREEN IS A LABOR OF LOVE, TAKING 5-7 DAYS TO FINISH, AND IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND MASTERPIECE.
