A series of prose pieces which comprise a narrative derived from shadowbox collections, the symbolic and archetypal meanings of which, in combination with the others within the display, constitute an oracular hybrid of fantastic imagination and spiritual insight. Although the objects may not represent a shared physical history, the symbolic and archetypal meanings of each one, combined with the others within the display, constitute an oracular hybrid of fantastic imagination and spiritual insight. The cumulative message of this collection is to paint the human being as a living reliquary of evolution, creation, historic advent, experience, knowledge, insight, original creativity, and obedience to the divine plan inherent in his composition: the human feretory.
