Currently exhibited in the Joukowsky Institute Exhibit: “The Stories Objects Tell”
Polychromatic Ahistory began through the discovery and study of the ancient art of polychrome, the
practice of decorating architectural elements, sculpture, etc., in a
variety of colors. What resulted from this discovery of an art form
longly rejected by history was a practice in re-making, reflection of
the self, and freedom of expression.
Polychromatic Ahistory is contained in three archival boxes and
accompanying guides. 3D printed fragments from ancient sculpture, recast
plaster copies: first painted in the likeness of the artist and then
using color to move past the object’s original form. Three guides pair
with each stacked layer to provide insight to the history of polychrome,
original objects, and artists.
