Sarah Lopez | “Akashic Record”

This media file is attached to: Ceramics / Sculpture / 3D Design

This memory box incorporates found objects that are gathered together to form a philosophical narrative. I was inspired by Edgar Cayce's philosophy as well as the concept of Akashic Record. I focused on creating asymmetry, using contrast, weight, dynamism, space, and overlapping planes wherein each item has a close relation to the next. The work represents the interdependency between religious principles and divine judgement. Mythos is an important expression in this work, as it observes a passive obedience to the demands of conformity yet is surreal, and lives outside the bounds of reality.
