This memory box incorporates found objects that are gathered together to form a philosophical narrative. I was inspired by Edgar Cayce's philosophy as well as the concept of Akashic Record. I focused on creating asymmetry, using contrast, weight, dynamism, space, and overlapping planes wherein each item has a close relation to the next. The work represents the interdependency between religious principles and divine judgement. Mythos is an important expression in this work, as it observes a passive obedience to the demands of conformity yet is surreal, and lives outside the bounds of reality.

The sculpture looks like a mouse, has whiskers, long feet, trousers, a robe, and beaded necklace. It holds a jasper stone at the center of its belly.

Sarah Lopez | “The Stone’s Keeper”

A sculpture of a 19 year old lady's head with blue, yellow and white glaze on it; she is looking up in the air and dreaming of her future, and around her, you can see her lovely cat and small planet sculpted on her.
