Research objectives:
I was intrigued to know why turuls,griffons,deer,horses,lions,all of which had always been conspicuous and also featured in the Treasure ofNagyszentmiklós, suddenly disappeared only to reemerge in Árpád Age stone carvings. Furthermore, I asked why did the sabretache plates themselves disappear?
Description and results of research:
Empires would emerge and disappear at a fairly quick pace due to linguistic diversity,a relatively autonomous power strukture,and distant external relations. This however would not entail the migration or disappearance of entire populations. Tribal alliances and conquered people would often assume the name of the new empire or that of the leading tribe (mimicry)which might suggest a change thanks to a shift in the power structure despite the fact that local communities had not moved at all.In such a cases,motifs might be quite revealing while conserving ancient patterns. Archetypes open the door to our subconscious. It is my goal to create images that reveal this merger,this superimposition of layer upon layer, an ambition qite different from that of archeologists who intend to take things apart.
