About The Artwork
Thot was the Egyptian name of the Mesopotamian God NIN.GISH.ZI.DA, the son of the great God EN.KI; he was a God of Science and in Egypt was depicted with the head of an Ibis bird; his emblem was a staff with entwined serpents, symbol of the DNA double-helix structure as perceived by its “second” discoverer, Nobel Prize Francis Crick, while under the influence of LSD: a safe card to play in favour of drug liberalization ! The framework of the sculpture consists of one half-body male mannequin supported by an iron rod; the torso has been adorned with a large gorget made of sailing ropes and completed with two wings; the head has been made up using a root - whose shape recalls that of an Ibis head - from which a series of wooden stems stick out depicting the feathers of Quezalcoatl – the “feathered serpent” – that was the name of this God in Mesoamerica; the high rank of the God (52) has been written on his chest in cuneiform script; the lower part of the body is made of suitably shaped plastic sheeting covered with rough fabric; finally the whole sculpture has been painted and bright varnished; the prevailing colour is red, i.e. the colour of the Gods’ planet, Nibiru.

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.
