Shrines & Reliquaries: Memorializing Climate
November 12, 2019
Work by Leslie Sobel will be featured in Michigan Medicine’s ongoing exhibit Gifts of Art: Bringing the World of Art & Music to Michigan Medicine. For her series, Shrines & Reliquaries: Memorializing Climate,
Sobel created mixed-media boxes meant to capture memories of places
being altered by climate change. She drew inspiration from Tibetan
iconography as well as her time as artist in residence at Kluane
National Park in Yukon Territory, Canada where in 2017 she camped on an
icefield with a group of climate scientists.The small boxes utilize
paint, monotype, photography, resin and encaustic to invoke complex
ideas and emotions that one can hold in their hands.Shrines & Reliquaries: Memorializing Climate
