This Reliquary expresses key aspects of John O’Loughlin’s ceramic practice with its shiny charcoal glaze, press moulded surface and highlights of gold lustre in the form of a mock clasp and framing a central impression of St George. 

O’Loughlin’s work often turns to questions of faith, stemming from his Catholic upbringing and its enduring focus on miracles, the afterlife, and the ‘Cult of the Saints'. These personal reflections take form in reliquaries, shrines, and ceremonial vessels, each a tangible meditation on his central question: Do I believe in miracles?
