Background

Physical description:
"Reliquary is a rolling box structure [with magnetic closure] composed of five shadow boxes housing artifacts found in the Mojave desert. The accompanying text on panels are letterpress printed and focused around loss, memory, and decay. Custom dies were designed for foil stamping on bookcloth covers, pairing each item with its 'sigil' counterpart"--Artist's website, August 29, 2017.
