Cymacia Coronides Artwork

I created this work, along with other similar works, while I was working on my doctoral dissertation on the Italian architect Guarino Guarini. I have made numerous works in this manner, as a way of being 'academic,' not in the sense of classical realism or figuration, but as a way of being 'professorial,' of making notes, charts, or graphs that express the concepts that I am working on in my writing or other philosophical pursuits. A 'cymacia coronides,' which is also the title of the work, is an element within an architectural column. In my dissertation, I was studying these elements within the architect's work, which is a very intricate element, because it connects light and time to the building through the element of the column. This had a theoretical meaning in my dissertation, because Guarini was very interested in sundials and astronomy, which included the intricacies of how to think of a column as part of the entire building as a whole. This may be an interesting work to collectors for other reasons, because of the work's provenance. In 2017, the year I created this piece, it was exhibited at the Farmington Museum of Art in New Mexico, where it received the Curator's Choice Award.
