Black and White Iconography

The simplified complete iconography of my fictional mythology. This image presents mythology's archetypes, the pantheon, main symbols and creatures. The mythology is presented in the catalog: Myth of the Incomplete Self Catalog >>

About the this body of work: The artwork in this exhibition was produced from 2016 to 2018 and is based on a larger iconographic work that the artist began in 2005. The work evokes illuminated manuscripts, created on leather parchment and rice paper, imagining them as lost pages from an ancient codex or mythological treatise. The images present a personal iconography of invented and appropriated symbols, uniquely arranged, combined, transformed, and depicted in cosmo-mythological and archetypal diagrams, as well as in scenes from a mythological pantheon. The imagery also suggests hieroglyphic or linguistic arrangements, a visual syntax using the Codex’s symbols and archetypes.
