The 'Guage of Reason' created for the American Jewelry Design Council's 2021 Living Collection themed 'Badges'. Compelled by the rise and fall of reason throughout mankind's existence, the work presents a chronological perspective of the artist's view of 3 Heights: TRUTH, 500-300 BC-the Ancient philosophers and mathmaticians; BEAUTY, 1400-1600 AD- the Renaissance artists and architects; VALOR, 1900-2022 AD-the Champions of freedom.
