SCAPULAR SERIES
2013-2016
The Scapular Series, are sculptures grounded in the poetics of materiality and dialogue on the ecology of the internal and external. Scapulars are worn over the shoulders (scapula) for protection and as a symbol of devotion within the Catholic faith; iconic images are embedded in the pendants that rest on the chest and back. Remixing the scapular, traditional iconography is replaced with a range of natural and man-made materials encouraging contemplation and dialogue on the roles of protection and devotion in relation to self, community, and our planet.
