Piece description from the artist
Rython | W. H. Livingston, Sr. | 1964
Rayburn House Office Building | Washington D.C.
These marble accents occur at each side of the wing motives at the east and west ends of the Rayburn House Office Building. The designer modeled the rhytons after the ancient Greek drinking horn with a mythical chimera with bended knees. The ram's head is representative of Wisdom, Power, Strength of Purpose, Defender of Right. The horn, or cornucopia, is the classic symbol of abundance and plenty.
Ashland grew up in Southeast Virginia surrounded by lush rural landscapes, great protected swamp lands, national & state parks, the Chesapeake Bay, the Eastern Shore, the breathtaking Skyline Drive & Blue Ridge Mountains, and the inlets & oceans of Virginia & North Carolina.
It was this constant variation in natural beauty that first drew his eye to the camera; that, and the constant joy of capturing life's candid moments on film. Although no particular subject is banned from the lens of Ashland's camera, it is landscapes, cityscapes, wildlife, and nature that truly captures his heart.
"There's always more to see, more to learn, more to be wowed about-I just hope you enjoy what I see in the world."
A constant staple on the likes of Instagram, Flickr, and Facebook, Ashland currently resides in Chicago, Illinois, and looks forward to many more years of development, collaboration, creativity, world travel, and art.
