Reliquaries

Considered the hallmark of medieval devotion, a reliquary is a container for a holy relic. A relic is an object surviving from an earlier time, especially one of historical or sentimental value. Relics often include part of a deceased holy person’s body or belongings and are kept as objects of reverence. Relics are used for storytelling, and like memory, they are timeless.
​
The porcelain reliquaries that I’ve created (with touches of glaze and luster) address topics including: American school shootings in Heard ‘Em Comin; aging with Pieces of Me; Hail to Onychophagy, a nod to nail biting; loss of a loved one in Forgiving Your Indiscretions or She Was a Saint; and extending belief in a nostalgia bone with Reliquary for a Nostalgia Bone.
