THE GROUND AND FIRST FLOOR: "APOTROPAIC" SERIES

The lower register could be Indra's cosmogenetic Spear of Energy as a shower of photons 'hitting' the primordial 'soup' and making cells containing two chromosome bands, or it could be spermatozoa invading cells or it could be Apollo's hundred fiery arrows cutting-up the Python, so unleashing History by releasing the Kosmos from the grip of Infinity..

The upper register could be the two serpents of the Egyptian cosmogenesis coupling in the 'Nun', the primordial 'Ocean'. Or it could be the twin helices of DNA. Or it could be the Khumba, as a 'serpent of stars', coiled about the Ocean, out of which is emerging the submarine mountain, in the form of a 'volcano' made of fire and ashes, after it was 'energised' by Indra.

Imposed over these horizontal registers is the vertical register of the entry columns. This is derived from the oldest 'architectural' column, those in Catal Huyuk. These were made from two bull's horns fixed to a stumpy pilaster of mud. The colour of the horns is 'bull's blood', the colour of sacrifice. The horns are given the 'feathery scales' of wings, so that they are also 'winged bulls'. They are fixed to a column, in this case rendered as a cube, the figure of the earth. This cube is contra-rotated so as to both rotate the figure and help it to 'fly'. As with contra-rotation does in propellors, this stabilises flight!.
