A project within a project

sideways in reverse....an adjunct

The 'artefact' I chose for this project was an assembled suit of samurai armour from the British Museum.
Late 16th Century (cuirass and sleeves), 17th Century (helmet), 18-19th Century (remainder)

A Fork in the River

Diversionary tactics.

An effort to expand our horizons and pallette, and remove ourselves from our supposed 'comfort zones'.

brief: IMAGE, AUTHENTICITY AND PERFORMANCE

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW (PROJECT WITHIN A PROJECT)

a saying attributed to polymath, 20th century socialite, latter day alchemist Aleister Crowley and a mantra favoured by the occultists whereby the micro and macro cosmos are seen as the same during the alchemical transformation: " that which is above is the same as that which is below"

Bearing this in mind, you are asked to go to the national gallery/ british museum et al, choose a painting, sculpture, objet d'arte etc and add it as if defining a performative artefact of your very own.
You are to take the paiting/artwork you find but you are not to reproduce it in presenting your artefact. You can add to, remove and replace- you are to create an intervention that describes interests carried through your work so so far as well as 'performance, identity and image'.

Chthonic (from Greek χθόνιος — chthonios, "in, under, or beneath the earth", from χθών — chthōn "earth"[1]; pertaining to the Earth; earthy; subterranean) designates, or pertains to, deities or spirits of the underworld, especially in relation to Greek religion.


Greek khthon is one of several words for "earth"; it typically refers to the interior of the soil, rather than the living surface of the land (as Gaia or Ge does) or the land as territory (as khora (χώρα) does). It evokes at once abundance and the grave.
