Altar
2019
Ceramic, Glaze
9" x 22" x 19"
I have held altars in every home I have lived in, a practice inherited from my mother that I have made into a ritual, adding loved ones that are no longer in this physical realm as well as a symbol of my gratitude to the friends and family who keep me afloat in this immediate world. I made my first Altar form in clay as a way to approach the increasing idea of making sacred objects, vessels for secretive worlds, things which are worshipped through their use, in a kind of secular reverence.
