Daedalus

Daedalus, father of artists and architects. 

The inventor of the labyrinth, who fashioned 
wings for himself and his son Icarus, 
embodied the traits that should inform 
the works of artists and architects; 
imagination, inventiveness and technical ability.

Consolation of Philosophy

De consolatione philosophiae (Consolation of Philosophy)

In five books, Boethius converses with a female 

personification of philosophy,who appears to 

offer him consolation; “You are playing with me,” I said, 
“by weaving a labyrinthine argument from which I cannot escape. 
You seem to begin where you ended and end where 

you began. Are you perhaps making a marvelous 

circle of divine simplicity?”

Book III, prose 12 , Verse 96

Anicius Manulius Severinius Boethius (ca 480-524 CE)

Landuse

Land use is personal, political, and industrial, but 
it is also contextual. For example, a sixth generation 
land-dweller, an oil and gas executive, and the worker 
of a river barge on the Mississippi utilize the same
landscape, but often with disparate interests, making
it difficult to elucidate shared definitions of value, 
ownership, and interconnectedness. As corporate 
encroachment and aggregate industry denature 
local communities, elegiac documentation suggests 
we must look to the future implications of land misuse. 
It is imperative that we ask ourselves who the changes 
are affecting and what remains to be lost?

Music and Labyrinths

Musical labyrinths lead the listener into new keys 

by way of numerous modulations, misleading 

them with enharmonic chords. The title of 

Johann Sebastien Bach’s Kleines Harmonisches 

Labyrinth composed in 1705, alludes to the 

sustained state of disorientation that is 

induced on it’s listeners.
