1 / Walk through the entire permanent collection at the British Museum.
2 / Select a single object of interest from each continental wing (Africa, Americas, Ancient Egypt,
      Ancient Greece & Rome, Asia, Europe, Middle East). You will have a total of 7 objects.
3 / Document each object by taking hi-res photos and drawing sketches to document the various angles
      and contours of its form.
4 / Each object selected should be on a pedestal to allow for a 360° view. (ie. you should be able to walk         around it from all sides).
5 /  Review all 7 objects together and record as many associations (formal and conceptual) as you can
       between them.
6 / Conduct further research on each object  – make note of time period, artist, region, etc.

I looked at the images that were sculpted to idolize certain beings and how each culture and environment had different images of what their idolized image was. Thus everyone's idol is distorted to each other.
