Croft Shrine

Temporary installation, found objects. Meadow Arts commission (2015)

Croft Shrine marks the beginning of a collaborative art project, A Shrine to Our Precious Things, where Farkas installs a temporary sculptural installation at Croft for two nights only, referencing the human need to make shrines, witnessed in religions both old and new, from ancient paganism to the present day, and even extending to the flowers and candles often left at the scene of someone’s death.

At each live event, Farkas asks visitors to light a candle for Croft and invites each person to think of an object that they treasure, then to photograph or describe it and submit it to the online artwork A Shrine to Our Precious Things. Anyone can take part in the project, by submitting an image of an object they hold dear.
