The Universal Animal
2018
The center of the installation 'The Universal Animal' was a wishing well,
filled with ceramic and bronze coins, flowers, lily pads and hands.
The work explores ways in which objects can hold meaning, time, energy and possibly a magical function within them. The Universal Animal is the result of an ongoing research on making and looking at art through the concept of Ritual.
