MASSA CONFUSA is a site-specific installation and permanent sculpture created at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts & Sciences, in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains. Commissioned by Dashboard US, the project was completed over the course of 5 weeks between June and August 2017, and opened under the direct path of the total solar eclipse. Based on ideas of chaos, prima materia, alchemical transformation, sacred geometry, creation mythologies, cosmogonies, numerologies, red clay, iron oxide, historical and ancient histories of Hambidge and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Cherokee and Mississippian cultures, The Secret of the Golden Flower, Jungian interpretations, ceremonial and archaeological sites, obscure objects of worship, and the varied symbolism of the terrapin, the installation incorporates the 5 Platonic Solids (tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron), 1 Archimedean Solid (truncated icosahedron, the Buckyball), approximately 200 terra-cotta artifacts, and 1 burnt offering of the primordial egg (the Massa Confusa), to create a mystical sacred space in a fern-covered ravine within the temperate Appalachian rain forest of Rabun County, Georgia.
