About the Project
Canadian artist Spring Hurlbut’s Sacrificial Ornament was a work commissioned jointly by Creative Time and the Municipal Art Society. In keeping with the artist’s interest in the roots of architectural classicism in pagan traditions—specifically the trend of ornamentation—_Sacrificial Ornament_ augmented existing pieces of ornamental molding, replacing certain elements with horns, eggs, and animal’s claws in order to recognize and regain original sources of decoration lost through stylization.
