News — Altar

Veneration: Making the Non-Physical, Physical is a solo exhibition by fiber artist Shannah Warwick, now on view at the Houghton Gallery at 171 Cedar Arts in Corning, NY, through October 26th, 2024. This collection of wool sculptures explores themes of consciousness, energy, and the connection between the physical and spiritual selves. Key pieces, such as the installation Lazarus, challenge viewers to reflect on their own mortality and the possibility that we are more than just our physical bodies. After the exhibit, Lazarus will be available for future collaborations with galleries, museums, nonprofits, and hospice care facilities.

A lot of people have recently asked me about setting up an Altar so I thought I would answer some of your questions here. Many religions and spiritual practices use Altars, not just Witches. An Altar is a dedicated space where you display and gather crystals and rocks, images, herbs and plants, special foods, Tarot cards, spell jars, etc all for a specific intention.
