IRON AGE // CONCEPTUAL NARRATIVE

“We are in a dystopian civilization inescapably submitted to capitalism. What’s needed is an awakening, one that happens deep inside us, from a primordial place that makes up our very soul. This place is connected to the iron age world, where iron and weaponry are symbols of power used to divide the haves from the have nots.

Historically, we have quantified our progress through the material ages as a way to define our achievements and mastery of the physical world.  “Iron Age” specifically is an era spanning roughly 2000+ years that ushered in industrialization.

But what modernized us may also destroy us and the Iron Age collection is an artistic interpretation of a collective “Epiphany” – experienced as a slap in the face or a poke in the ass. It offers us a chance come to terms with and interpret our current age and impending social, environmental and economic catastrophes.” - HVNTER GVTHERER

The Mycenaean tholos tomb (fancifully) named the ‘Treasury of Atreus’, located in Mycenae, Greece.

This tomb dates to ca. 1300-1250 BC. Elite Mycenaean families who lived around this era, perhaps not too long before the presumed date of the Trojan War, buried their dead in beehive-like tombs which were covered by huge earthen mounds. There are about 9 such known examples in Mycenae, but there are much more elsewhere. This example is the most famous and best preserved of these tombs, with a 43-foot high dome. It was unfortunately robbed -we have no information regarding its burials or accompanying grave goods. Except for the elite status of the Mycenaean, we are thus left essentially clueless as to whom this tomb was owned by.

Mycenaean Funerary Masks

Heinrich Schliemann discovered these masks in 1876, while excavating in Mycenae, Greece. Three of the gold masks were discovered in Grave IV and two in Grave V. Schliemann claimed that the first mask above was that of Agamemnon, the antagonist in Homer’s Epic, The Iliad. However, current research indicates that the mask was made from 1550-1500 BC, long before the time of Agamemnon.
