About the Exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reliquaries, shrines and altarpieces created for this exhibition ask the viewer to contemplate what is truly sacred in our world. In an age of human-driven climate change, Charles F. Pitz has created a creative response to the experience of “solastalgia” – a homesickness and distress one feels when surrounded by rapid environmental decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using techniques refined for centuries by artists across the world, Pitz conveys the sense of something sublime… something of immeasurable value. Perhaps the beings found in these reliquaries and shrines, and the tree of life they represent, will someday be revered as the marvels they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
