Reliquary (with cat claw, manuka flower and amethyst)
Inspired by Tracy Farr’s award winning novel ‘Wonderland’, in which the triplets (Oona, Hanna and Ada) kept a collection of precious things like ‘The Lost Finger Bone of Carnival Charlie Loverock’, these Reliquary collection pieces are made of tiny items that I’ve saved while working on pieces of taxidermy in the studio. Some have obvious connections, while others seem more eclectic at first glance.
Each Reliquary, made with a painted miniature printers tray, comes boxed and ready to give as a gift, or as a treat for yourself.
'Reliquary (with cat claw, manuka flower and amethyst)' also includes shell and cat phalanges.
All specimens are ethically sourced through the local trapping community, veterinary rehabilitation fails, road traffic accidents, or are kindly donated by the public.
Reliquary: 50mm x 69mm x 9mm
Gift box: 93mm x 93mm x 30mm
