Large Altar
John Makowski
Ceramic with Dry Glaze, 15" x 18"
$225
This altar is one in a series of altars...the series is still in
process. I have had altars since the early '70s when I discovered the
Goddess spirituality movement in San Francisco. Then I just piled up
rocks and built "sacred space" areas on my property. Medicine wheels
signifying the four directions, the four elements were next. I started
creating smaller more intimate altars with multi-levels out of ceramic
material in many colors here in North Carolina. The one pictured is
inspired from the Hindu religion...the stamps were found in San
Francisco in the 70s, the Sun rays expanding outward signify our
unending spirituality. The candles when lit create wonderful shadow
effects. Of course I expect people who use my altars to put their own
symbols of Spirit on them. ~ John Makowski
