Reliqui- arium

The wing of a goldfinch, the encrusted cephalotorax of a spider crab, wintersweet seedcases which had been eaten by mice: limbs of animals and plants. 

Reliquiarium (2011) is a series of framed animal remamails. I collected those bodily fragments over few years, on the street or while travelling. Some were gifted to me. I framed them with golden frames, as it used to be done with relics of the Saints in the Catholic tradition.
