Votive

𝙑𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚
/ˈvəʊtɪv/
offered or consecrated in fulfilment of a vow.

Votive explores the planes of queer embodiment through devotional objects. Casting symbols which make reference to the adolescent experience, the artist uses the visual language of the votive offering to create icons of transmasculine becoming. 

Precious materials such as silver, bronze, porcelain and glass intermingle with materials of traditional votive offerings like wax while pieces of furniture or folded environments become a reliquary of the self made. Sculptural objects meet jewellery meet artifact.
