ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Catholic Church had, at the Third Ecumenical Council of Constantinople (635 A.D.), banned a belief in dragons. To help enforce this they erected Terrent Dracones, or scare dragons, atop their cathedrals in the Middle Ages. But the dragons’ boycott of these religious centers was actually by dietary preference. Christians were evidently a very bitter meat. Dragons found that happy people tasted better. But this of course led to a philosophical conundrum, as dragons are quite intelligent and prefer good company. interpretation by Oscar Throckmorton

SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Delivery Time:

Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.

My assemblage work follows in the tradition of indigenous cultures, the Eskimo, African and Native American where found objects are the raw materials from which their religious and ethnic icons are created. I consider myself an archeologist sitting beside a dig at the edge of infinity, selecting and reconstructing artifacts of both past and future.
