Transcript Making of Justice Corrupted

Slide 1

Who is Lady Justice?
She is a figure dressed in
Greek or Roman apparel.
She carries a sword and
sometimes a scroll as a
defender of the law.
She holds in balance a
scale to judge evenly.
Often she wears a
blindfold to be impartial in
her decision.

We see her as a sculpture
on our public buildings

Courthouse , Redding California

She is depicted in paintings

Artist: Raphael Santi

She is created in bas relief.

Parliament building, Victoria, Australia

Justice sits brooding on
steps of the main
entrance to the United
States Supreme Court

She holds in her right
hand a human a statue
symbolizing the affairs of
mankind.
Created by James Earle Fraser

The image of Justice originated
with the goddess Themis.
Themis was the deity of prophecy.

She was the goddess of divine law
and sat beside Zeus to offer advice.
Themis judged whether the dead
went to Tartarus or the Elysian
Fields
armed with sword and balance scales (Legislative Council Building, Central, Hong Kong)

Themis armed with sword and balance scales
(Legislative Council Building,
Central, Hong Kong)

The Roman version is Justitia.
She was a virgin living among
humans until the wrong-doings
of mortals forced her to take
flight and become the
constellation Virgo.

Our image of Lady Justice
as we know today is a blend
of the two goddesses,
Justitia and Themis.

Lady Justice Corrupted is the first sculpture in a series
about our legal system.
This project began with a group of drawings to convey
the idea of justice corrupted.

She is striding over a mound of money cleaving the book
of Law in two. Her blindfold is askew and her focus
looking off over her shoulder. She is no longer concerned
with the affairs of mankind.
This project began in the spring of 2012 when the idea
became an actuality. I met a friend who financed the
project and worked with me on the grunt work throughout
the summer.

This project began with a group of drawings to convey
the idea of justice corrupted.

She is striding over a mound of money cleaving the book
of Law in two. Her blindfold is askew and her focus
looking off over her shoulder. She is no longer concerned
with the affairs of mankind.
This project began in the spring of 2012 when the idea
became an actuality. I met a friend who financed the
project and worked with me on the grunt work throughout
the summer.

Slide 15

Who is Lady Justice?
She is a figure dressed in
Greek or Roman apparel.
She carries a sword and
sometimes a scroll as a
defender of the law.
She holds in balance a
scale to judge evenly.
Often she wears a
blindfold to be impartial in
her decision.

We see her as a sculpture
on our public buildings

Courthouse , Redding California

She is depicted in paintings

Artist: Raphael Santi

She is created in bas relief.

Parliament building, Victoria, Australia

Justice sits brooding on
steps of the main
entrance to the United
States Supreme Court

She holds in her right
hand a human a statue
symbolizing the affairs of
mankind.
Created by James Earle Fraser

The image of Justice originated
with the goddess Themis.
Themis was the deity of prophecy.

She was the goddess of divine law
and sat beside Zeus to offer advice.
Themis judged whether the dead
went to Tartarus or the Elysian
Fields
armed with sword and balance scales (Legislative Council Building, Central, Hong Kong)

Themis armed with sword and balance scales
(Legislative Council Building,
Central, Hong Kong)

The Roman version is Justitia.
She was a virgin living among
humans until the wrong-doings
of mortals forced her to take
flight and become the
constellation Virgo.

Our image of Lady Justice
as we know today is a blend
of the two goddesses,
Justitia and Themis.

Lady Justice Corrupted is the first sculpture in a series
about our legal system.
