About The Artwork
AN.TU was the Goddess spouse of AN.U - the head of the Mesopotamian Pantheon - and the mother of the great God EN.LIL who wanted Mankind to be wiped off the face of the Earth by the Deluge, fed up with its moral corruption; the latter being still today a hot topic, it’s better to be prepared ! The frontal posture of the body and its predominant ivory-white colour – that hints to the beauty of the Goddesses’ skin-tone as extolled in the Mesopotamian poems – emphasise the formal grace and regality of the spouse of AN.U, the greatest among the Gods; the 12 hard-stones diadem marks her as royalty as well as the large gorget made of sailing ropes; two horn-shaped roots stick out from each side of the head, the horns being in antiquity a symbol for divinity; at waist level the winged disk - symbolizing Nibiru, the planet of the Gods – is placed at the centre of the belly highlighted in silver The framework of the sculpture consists of one half-body female mannequin supported by an iron rod; its torso, neck and head have been cladded with sailing ropes to fashion the upper garment and create the Goddess’ facial features; the lower part of the body is made from suitably shaped plastic sheeting covered with rough fabric; finally the whole sculpture has been painted and bright varnished.

My name is Luciana Chiusole, but I have also an artist’s name, Bezec, that was my father’s nickname. I have always been seeing in Nature, particularly in the logs, roots and branches of cut off trees, peculiar “forms” – often originated from my reading and traveling experiences – that I try to bring about making up the roots with clay, paper mache and other, to get the shape I have “seen” and eventually painting and varnishing it. Among my recent works, the “Mannequins” series has evolved from this approach, originated from reading about the ancient mythologies when I started “dreaming” of some roots and branches, I had found somewhere, as the distinctive features of a specific “God” or “Goddess” I had learned of.
