RECENT WORK: RELICS AND RELIQUARIES
The wood case for this 19th c. thermometer was the reason I purchased the thermometer. The shape, wood and patina of the lovely case influenced the build-out design of the entire reliquary with the exception of the brass orchid repousse which was influenced by the thermometer.
19th c. thermometer, antique engravings within the reliquary box, basswood,
brass sheet and rod and varnish.
