Portfolios > SERIES 1: RITUALS AND RELIQUARIES



As a sculptor I am naturally interested in and attracted to 3-D forms, especially ones with a patina and history. I love the shape of this oil can, it has simplicity and elegance, so I created a reliquary for it whose elements reflects this. The reliquary design has a spare, minimal quality reminiscent of Japanese design.
