Reliquary with Bees, 2025
Shipping calculated at checkout
This Reliquary box expresses key aspects of John O’Loughlin’s ceramic practice. A press moulded surface is accented with bees and beetles highlighted in metallic lustre. Delicate petals of engobe and subtle tones of verdigris immediately evoke something age worn and historic.
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?
