The Altar: Industrialism

As I sculpted the alter – a place of veneration and restoration – I realized that the 120 year old metal railings and pews were not only found objects, but artifacts and relics as well. These objects and the altar itself now stand as a metaphor for survival. They are symbolic of our current social condition. They are a silent witness to our past. The Alter: Industrialism is meant to give us pause. To allow us to dream but to never forget the struggles, the strength, and the resolve of the past generation that continues to inspire us today.
