CARRIAGEWORKS

Rakini Devi’s new work Reliquary Body is inspired by sacred artefacts, reliquaries of saints and the body as relic and ritual artefact. The notion of the artist’s body as a reliquary, and as receptacle of sacred essence draws on her research into Hindu and Buddhist culture and tradition, European Christian traditions, the medieval West, and the Islamic East.
