Shelter For The Holy Family

This Pierced-Metal Backdrop Was Created To Complement The Holy Family, Though It Can Be Used As A Beautiful Backdrop For Other Angels Or Figures As Well. The Repetitive Swirling Concentric Mark-Making Is Suggestive Of Twinkling Stars At Night. The Roof Is An Intertwined, Organic Structure That Suggests A Bower Of Twigs Or Branches. Since The Surface Patterning Is Complex With Tiny Elements, I Wanted To Pare Down The Form To The Simplest Possible. It’S Basically A Single Sheet Of Pierced Metal, Curved To Allow It To Stand And Represent A Shelter For The Holy Family And Animals. –Susan Lordi
