I created the Flamingo Shrine sculpture as part of the Sparkle Mystery Garden in a larger installation. The objects in this sculpture came primarily from an elderly friend with a huge collection of artificial flowers, plastic ice cream spoons, and craft supply ephemera. The Shrine serves as a celebration of the objects we collect and give us joy.
