Research and Development:

Art is the R&D for culture. Artists Conduct the R&D for society. My intent with this series was to create a collection of works that, when exhibited, would suggest work by different artists and different periods, all relating in one way or another to one of three iconic images: a micro-compressor chip, a pre-Columbian vase, and an ancient Greek statue.
