Immortal Glory

My work narrates life and death. Objects are made from funeral urns, reliquaries, and church. It is contemporary object of record and communication conveying new narrative of personal moments. Reflecting persevering burden of human relationships, behaviours, and emotions, the collective anecdote represents standard and mysterious aspects of life. The work demonstrates fascination and pleasure in the act of making and craft. As transdisciplinary practice, combination of contradicting elements are laid out to observe traditional and modern, and life and death, navigating into culture’s contradictions and transformation of object into new visual language and a relevant tool to measure human existence and absence.
