The Pocket Shrines of Nina Gaby

“A little saint best fits a little shrine.”
Robert Herrick

For millennia, the human spirit has assembled objects that help us feel safe, connected, holy and in control. Up until the last century or so, these objects were deeply rooted in cultural tradition. Then the impossible happened. A break, a schism, a rupture occurred in the fabric of humanity and the buttons of religion flew off in a thousand directions. Nina Gaby’s Pocket Shrines are intimate sacred vessels that incorporate the fragments of those old religions: Virgin Mary, Maneki Neko, dice, glitter, etc. Each Shrine is an ornamented box that contains a tassel of sacred objects reflecting its theme or purpose.
