Former tech drone, living in L.A. I now create digital reconstructions of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. No, really. 🏳️🌈

- This wonderful encaustic 'Fayyum' mummy portrait depicts a youthful bearded man wearing a gold ivy wreath on his head. The geometric pattern along the neck of his tunic and the background are also gilded. In Egyptian art, the gods had golden skin, and this usage symbolized immortality. 🏺 📸 me
- I was really looking forward to seeing the Portus Relief in detail at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social, but the problem was that I couldn’t really *see* it when I got there. Not placing a highly reflective case opposite a bank of bright windows should be taught in Curator 101. Disappointing. 🏺
