The Labyrinth Sun Story:
The Labyrinth Sun is part of the Sun Series and is inspired by Greek design and Sun Deity worship during that time period.
The Labyrinth Sun features a four-axis maze pattern of concentric circles which form a sun disc with a stylised Greek inspired Helm/Face at its centre. The sun is coloured a bright red/orange and sits on a wood stained background.
Helios the Solar Deity
In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Helios is the god and personification of the Sun (Solar deity). His name is also Latinized as Helius, and he is often given the epithets Hyperion ("the one above") and Phaethon ("the shining"). Helios is often depicted in art with a radiant crown and driving a horse-drawn chariot through the sky. He was a guardian of oaths and also the god of sight. Though Helios was a relatively minor deity in Classical Greece, his worship grew more prominent in late antiquity thanks to his identification with several major solar divinities of the Roman period, particularly Apollo and Sol.
The Labyrinth
In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was an elaborate, confusing structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, the monster eventually killed by the hero Theseus. Daedalus had so cunningly made the Labyrinth that he could barely escape it after he built it.
In art displaying the 'maze', the quadrant design in the four-axis pattern can vary greatly with the Minotaur or other danger retained in the center of the design.
Creating the Labyrinth Sun
I created the Labyrinth Sun design in Auckland, starting with a digital illustration, then bringing the illustration into my CNC Program where I design the cutting paths. From the paths I generate the g-code or CNC cutting code ready for the carving process. The material is loaded on the CNC machine and the piece is carved in around an hour. The carved art piece is then inspected, sanded, coloured, varnished and finally a hanging wire installed.
As you can see to create this sculpted piece there are many processes involved making it a truly special and bespoke item.
Packaging:
The item will be packaged with bubble wrapping inside a cardboard outer box.
Delivery:
The item will be couriered to your chosen destination. Courier and Shipping times TBC
