Description One of the earliest systems of weights and measures have been created by ancient peoples of Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and Elam of Iran. Long before Imperial and Metric conversions standards evolved systems known as the Egyptian cubit, the Indus Valley units of length and the Mesopotamian cubit were used as early as the 3rd millennium BC. As these early civilizations were developing, ancient peoples needed a standard form of measure to create their world. Thats when units of weight and measurement were developed known as the Cubit rod used for numerous tasks such as: constructing dwellings of an appropriate size and shape, fashioning clothing, and bartering food and raw materials. This abstract altruistically expresses the essence of evolution of such standards from the 3rd millennium BC to the 21st century as a way to appreciate the tools used to help build civilizations.
Emily Colosimo, Toronto Member Since July 2012 Artist Statement Emily grew up in a Canadian Italian Family where her mother was a talented seamstress/pattern designer and her father's hobby was redesigning cars. Her dad once envisioned an alternative fuel vehicle over 40 years ago. All of her siblings inherited much of their talents. Her first artwork was a lighthouse drawn when she was 4 years old. From that point on she was destined to become an architect. Sketching, painting and currently digital artwork has become her passive leisure. From Landscape Architect to Advertising Art Director Emily uses her artistic tools to envision her ideas.
