In classical Greek architecture, the columnar “orders” have specific symbolic meanings.  The ionic column represents the feminine principle, and their presence in a structure indicates the grounding, solidity, and nurturing nature of mother earth and the female side of the universe.  Ionic Column celebrates the feminine principle and reveals the column as two graceful ladies, imbued with the forms of nature, as incarnations of mother earth, and as the living feminine spirit and great supportive foundation of our world.

Textile Block Gesso Panel

The substructure of nature revealed in the perfect geometry of a multi-tiered square. Organic truth meets geometric order in this homage to Frank Lloyd Wright’s infamous textile block constructions.

Originally designed to raise funds to help preserve Wright’s Gordon House, CJ’s ultimate vision for the design is as a three dimensional repeating frieze for an interior. A dynamic frieze level illustrating infinite variety through the repetition of the design by handwork. CJ made two of these panels. One sold for the Gordon House and the other is available here.
