Iconography in Blue, 2024 Resin casts on board. Dimensions: 100 cm W x 100cm H x 5cm D. $6,850 NZD For a video of this piece click here. The Iconography Collection
Ann Ciciani’s Iconography collection is an exploration of archetypes of popular culture and how they relate to our modern day ‘myths’, that is films, stories and toys. Ann uses 3D casts made from resin to create a landscape of sculpture on board. ’We make toys, write stories and watch films in order to better understand ourselves. The archetypes in popular culture are an evolution of the cave drawings and myths of ancient people. Just as they used to do, in contemporary society we are still creating these reflections of our culture in order to better see and understand ourselves and the culture we are living in’.
Each figure acts as a symbol that will resonate with each viewer in a completely personal way. On a broader scale, each symbol represents an archetype that must be experienced and integrated. Once integrated the individual can transcend the archetype and move to a higher level of consciousness by moving through the Door of Perception (ref. Aldous Huxley), featured in the centre of the work. In this way, the collective consciousness mirrors itself, becomes more self aware and in doing so continues to evolve.

Metanoia is the pivotal work of Ann Ciciani's Iconography collection. The Iconography collection is an exploration of archetypes and symbolism in popular culture and how it relates to the evolution of our collective consciousness. Metanoia, a transliteration of the Greek μετάνοια, means after-thought or beyond-thought, with meta meaning "after" or "beyond". This word encapsulates the power of imagery to communicate ideas that fall outside the realm of language and logical thought processes - a fundamental function of art itself. On another level 'Metanoia' can also mean 'conversion' or to change one's mind or world view. On a collective level, it represents the evolution of the collective consciousness through mirroring of ourselves through popular culture, thus contributing to the evolution of our collective mind or psyche. This also encapsulates the idea of art functioning to elevate the consciousness of both the artist creating the work and the audience receiving it.
