This sculpture is based on the character Nestor, the patrician advisor to the Achaean army in the Iliad, and host to Telemachus in the Odyssey. Homer describes Nestor as the oldest and wisest of the Achaeans, generally referred to as the ‘Gerenian horseman’. In the Iliad and the Odyssey, Nestor formulates his advice to heroes on comparisons of current situations to historical precedent on the basis that all things of the present are inferior to those of the past. ΝΟΟΣ (noos) serves here as an epithet of Nestor and refers to the mind; sense; perception; and counsel

The only artist on the planet who explores the compositional methods of ancient Greek poets through the medium of contemporary sculptural assemblage. Unique, obscure, and totally off-trend. In literary translation the content of oral-formulaic poetry is often more effectively conveyed than its form. The sculptural assemblages on this page serve as a visualization or ‘aesthetic translation’ of the formal artistry of two ancient Greek epics – Iliad and the Odyssey. The result is a visual exploration of correlations between what the poems say and how they say it. Each individual sculpture functions as a personification of a character from the Homeric epics. Each set of sculptures represents a ‘composite object portrait’ that depicts Homer not as a person, but as a continually adaptive constructive system.
