Relic #2
Encaustic and found objects on wood
Artist Statement
From bones and hair to wood shards and other objects, relics provide the faithful of many religions a tangible representation of their faith. Religion is a reoccurring theme in my work. Found objects are a key component. The combination of these aspects brought me to the relic Series. What power do relics hold? How do relics effect one’s faith and beliefs? For whom should relics have meaning? From whom should relics originate? In relic Series, I use common, everyday objects within a structure and color palette that reference western religion. For the viewers of my work, do these everyday object attain the reverence afforded objects deemed relics?
