Using "The Theology of Arthimetic", 2 A. D. as a starting point of my research, I tried to understand the concept of God as a ‘maker’ or ‘laborer’ or ‘Artificer’. The Artificer would need tools to create the world and what if those tools were numbers, and if so, then each number has meaning. I explored what number 1 would be in the painting The Monad or what number 3 would be in The Triad. For instance, in The Tetrad I meditated on the earth, the four elements, the four cardinal directions, then based the paintings architecture on these thoughts.
