The Armoury

Three weapons, each built to demonstrate one technique rather than to illustrate a myth.

• ZEUS — The Parametric Singularity

  Not a modelled object. A zigzag channel of straight runs joined by forced reversals, re-struck on an irregular cadence, carrying a gold companion strand and a dim leader one strike behind — and it lights the room itself.

• POSEIDON — The Sea-Barbed Trident

  Verdigris bronze holds the casting — barbed tines, scalloped webs, a sapphire seated in the crown that lights the metal around it. The blades alone are living water at index 2.42, so the abyss behind them breaks into spectra, and one continuous helix wraps butt to crown and tears into filaments past the points.

• HADES — The Scorched Bident

  Scorched iron carries the body and tarnished gold the ornament — knotwork bands, chased brackets, a beast pommel with ember eyes. A black heart set between two swept horns holds the melt in a creeping fissure network and lights the casting around it, while one coil of soot wraps the shaft and genuinely removes the fire behind it. The floor is cracked crust with the melt in the seams.
