RELIQUARIES

Painting is Jacqueline’s main mode of expression but two years ago she worked on a different form of art, producing 20 objects titled Reliquaries.  Inundated with pleas to improve the environment, recycle, go green, save energy or help stop global warming made her think of how she would be able to use recycled materials and reconstruct them into beautiful works of art.  She took her obsolete transparencies (photos of her art works now replaced by digital images) and combined them with many objects she had been saving through the years, i.e. pieces of wood and metal.
Reliquaries is a combination of these “two bodies of things”.  The wood and metal are the receptacles for the transparencies that have survived but are memorials of something past.
