Abstract

This research paper discusses the philosophical and technical approaches presenting “ The Guardian Scarabs" exhibition by identifying technical methods of forming Vitrified Talc, inserted over Basalt Sculptures, it aims at discovering aesthetics of Vitrified Talc shapes Inspired from ancient Egyptian Scarbs, in new forms of expressions.
Experimental research methods were used to present practical applications of Scarabs shaping realized in stylized abstract forms of Egyptian Talc stone (Steatite), fired and glazed at 980oC, then mechanically fixed over the Cocoon stylized Basalt Sulptures' polished surfaces, resembling the guarding of these Cocoons awaiting Metamorphosis. The research deepen an understanding of Metamorphosis Concept embodied in Cocoons, being a biological fact, and revealing social reoccurring Ideas. The particular significance of the study lies in spotting light on developing Ancient Egyptian techniques, it makes important contributions to enrich technical information about Egyptian Talc stone Sculpture, Firing, and Glazing, to reveal special Aesthetics emphasized by integration of turquoise glazed Talc within Black Basalt, rising an interesting dialogue between two different and even visually opposite fiery bodies, showing contrast and integration between them. This research reccomends paying attention to polimateric techniques, since diffent materials combinations create new languages and forms of expression.
