Apollo ΝΟMΟΣ Sculpture

Objects used: fishing buoy, outside spring callipers, hand-forged outside callipers, Primus camping stove, pendant light fixture ceiling hook cup, combination square blades, Apsco Vacuhold pencil sharpener, tracing wheel, saltshaker foot, gate valve head, toast rack components, pepper grinder components, washers, wood, enamel paint. Apollo ΝΟMΟΣ is a depiction of the god Apollo as a mentor who turns on their protege. Apollo's areas of specialization - archery, music, and prophecy are expressed as a bow, lyre and tripod set on a horned altar. Apollo's primary function as enforcer of correct and 'measured' conduct is alluded to in the use of instruments such as the caliper, ruler, tracing wheel and pencil sharpener. ΝΟMΟΣ serves here as an epithet of Apollo and refers to a musical mode; a custom, law or ordinance, or a pasture. This work forms part of a series of nine sculptures entitled "Powell's Patterns 2, 11, 20, 25", which is a sculptural exploration of four contingents from the list of combatants in Homer’s Iliad. Superficially, the only link between these four catalogue entries are structural similarities first identified by the scholar Barry Powell. The sculptural series explores thematic links between these entries.
