SOLD: Mayan Stele #10

MAYAN STELE #10 • Presley Johnson

foil and glue on cardboard

The artist’s piece was inspired by her study of Mayan temple decorations, particularly the decorative columns called “stele.” These ancient works traditionally depict symbols which represent nature, stories of their people, or their gods. This original design was created to draw attention to the asymmetry that underlies our perception of symmetry. The 3-dimensional effect was achieved by outlining the foundational drawing with lines of glue.
