Iscoceles Mass Valuation is an amalgamation of trigonometric isosceles triangles and varied other polygons, as well as UFO saucer discs of .925 sterling silver. Converging perspective lines use a loose approach to the traditional practice of point of view beyond a traditional horizon or vanishing point. Warm saturated hues and values function to strengthen and accentuate the eyes gravitation to both the reflective .925 sterling, as well as the focal horizon point. The piece gives a strongly ethereal feeling to the viewer and insinuates an unearthly, celestial setting. Abstract phonetic-like forms, positioned in a triangulation add to the use of isosceles triangles while further reinforcing the converging perspective lines to a further raised, untraditional vanishing point.
