Artist Al Farrow’s latest show “Reliquaries” at the Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco opened recently to large groups of patrons and fans. Farrow renders religious sanctuaries (such as churches, mosques and synagogues) out of munitions (gun parts, bullets, casings, steel,etc.).
Each sculpture is an amazing piece of miniature architecture, perfectly replicated and exquisitely detailed. Emotionally compelling to behold, the work explores the juxtaposition between organized religion and violence.
