Artstory ICONS

The ICON is a mystery.  It could be described as a seminal structure and hierarchy, and a symbol for the spiritual evolution of Mind.  And you may observe that the ICON  functions as an integral element of the Cornfield  installation, evolving from two-dimensional sacred geometry into a three-dimensional living symbol.

The ICON is also a meta-structure, a fertile device that can contain a multitude of images from nature, art history, and the imagination.  It is a visual farm, planted with crops of imagery which are rotated through the various fields of the structure.   In this sense, the ICON also serves as vehicle, containing a condensed version of the artstory gleaned from the experience of Cornfield.

A mystery, a symbol, a device, a farm, a vehicle, a home . . .  the ICON can be whatever you want it to be.  Could even be a composter.
