This schema shows archetypes and symbols from the Chained Clouds myth, when the new pantheon of deities and creatures paraded through the desert. The schema is part of my fictional mythology. 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.
