Mystic Objectives

This collection of sculptural works have been inspired and informed by an investigation in Contemporary Mexican rituals of spiritual healing. Using the same poignant materials associated with these practices, a psychological space is created to stimulate all the senses in hopes of inciting our deepest internal memories for better or worse. These immersive works, utilize both the vivid reality of a materials physical presence in addition to their primitive and symbolic qualities within the world of shamanism.
