Inspired by the religious reliquaries of the past and using bones, fur, or feathers of animals that I have found, I honor them by creating these box-books. Each is “relic” housed in a book or box with an interior of velvet and a gold cover. These works are small and intimate asking the viewer to look closely and consider carefully the sacredness of those other creatures who share the earth with us.
