Portable Healing Shrine
This piece is built upon a found object (a small hand made, hand-painted Hindu shrine that I found at the AsiaBarong marketplace in Great Barrington). While the found shrine was rather crudely made and painted, I thought it would be fun to use the wooden framework to create a personal shrine using my own imagery. 
The selection of images above: 
- a front view of the shrine with all doors closed
- the shrine under its protective glass jar in the gallery
- a view with one side door partially opened - showing Medicine Buddha and emerging lotus
- the shrine with all outer doors open - showing hands making offerings (multiple panels) and Protective Dakinis dancing on the doors of the inner-most realm
- the doors of the inner sanctum opened to reveal the meditating Medicine Buddha flanked by flaming lotus flowers
