Steel and Wood
This piece conveys the skeletal structure (thorax and femur) as the relic and the
surrounding skin as the false reliquary that contain the true internals. The materials used help reinforce this idea of structure vs. container. Wood has a lively aesthetic as it has a visible previous life, whereas steel is often seen only as structural. In this piece the steel is used to show the deception of external beauty when the skin is pulled back.
