SACRED COMMODITIES

SACRED COMMODITIES

THE GODS HAVE BEEN MOVED INDOORS.

STONE BODIES STAND IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED HALL, FROZEN BETWEEN DEVOTION AND DECORATION. RELIGION, MYTH, INSTITUTION ALL LINED UP FOR OBSERVATION.

WE NO LONGER KNEEL. WE CURATE.

THE MUSEUM REPLACES THE TEMPLE. THE LABEL REPLACES THE PRAYER. THE TICKET REPLACES BELIEF.

AND IN THE CORNER, A FAMILIAR RED MESSAGE INTERRUPTS THE REVERENCE.

CUT THE CRAP.

IN A CAPITALIST WORLD, EVERYTHING BECOMES OBJECT. EVEN THE SACRED. EVEN GOD.

WHEN FAITH IS DISPLAYED, IT IS ALSO DISARMED.

A COLLISION OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND WOOD SCULPTURE. THIS WORK MERGES DOCUMENTARY REALITY WITH HAND CARVED INTERVENTION, INSERTING SCULPTURAL ELEMENTS INTO LIVED MOMENTS TO QUESTION THE VALUE OF MYTH IN A MARKET DRIVEN ERA.

THIS ARTWORK IS AVAILABLE IN THE SIZES LISTED IN THE DROP DOWN BOX.
