Artist Statement

Athena may be the Greek goddess of war and wisdom, but it is Artemis to whom we associate the bow and arrow. Artemis, goddess of the hunt, but also of nature, healing, care of children, and notably chastity. Aphrodite had no power over this huntress.

Girl Scout (Bullseye) (dated between 1920 and 1921) depicts a similar combination of independence and joy. An unknown photographer captured the moment our young Girl Scout plucked her arrow from a bullseye, smiling and triumphant. You can practically feel the fresh air and vitality emanate from the photo.

Why We Love It

In this context, the bow and arrow loses its association with violence and becomes a tool of accuracy, athleticism and survival. Being at one with nature. A gentle independence that is still connected to an established order of things. All descriptions which will be recognizable to anyone who has been a Girl Scout (or Girl Guide, for those of us who grew up outside America) and can be summed up in the Girl Scout motto: “Be prepared.” Read more on our blog!
