Coppenhagen Can Reliquaries
I created a series of “mobile reliquaries” for The Trophy Room exhibit at Stapleton Gallery. The new pieces were Inspired by a discussion held with the curators when they visited my studio earlier this year. We talked about the idea of hunting camps, earlier settlers and nomadic indigenous people. I mentioned my fascination with the sentimental and trophy objects people chose to carry (horseback, on wagons, by foot). Trophy’s would have to be mobile. A series of five new sculptures were created for the exhibit, four of which were contained within and included a simple Copenhagen can. The piece pictured here is titled, “Saffronia.”
