Technology
and Science have been replacing older entrenched ideas of religion and
as our society changes our icons of worship change as well.
“The Altar Project” takes a traditional altar shaped archway with an object, or subject of worship as the centerpiece. This can be something common in the modern world, historically significant or have a personal meaning. Each artist’s particular piece will be their own altar or reliquary, an effigy or an object of intention; A shrine to the gods of the modern age or an altar of worship to ones own personal deities or demons.
