- The Serpent Column: a Cultural Biography is a longer-form project comprising c. 100, 000 words. Absences in the historical record necessitated extensive contextual research into subjects such as the Persian wars, Near Eastern mythology and Christian Iconography. Comprehensive analysis was carried out on the object’s physical attributes and its serpentine imagery. This interdisciplinary methodology helped to generate critical insights that bridge the divide between material history and documentary history and demonstrates the necessity of contextualizing objects in their passage through changing times, places, and cultures.
