Al Farrow's meticulously crafted sculptures are both haunting and mesmerizing. Using materials such as deconstructed guns, bullets, bone, glass, and steel, Farrow creates ornate religious structures, ritual objects, and reliquaries that are visually striking and emotionally confounding. Through these shockingly beautiful and highly detailed sculptures of churches, synagogues, mosques, mausoleums, Jewish ritual objects and Christian casket, reliquaries, all rendered from munitions, Farrow examines the abiding relationships between religion and violence, peace and brutality, the sacred and the unholy.
