Prospectors
Stained glass, solder, lead, metal, dimensions variable
The Prospectors in this work connect to a science fiction narrative, imagining them as creatures that mine, gather, and transport jewels and riches, delivering them to you. This idea reflects the commodification of stained glass, shifting its traditional role in sacred worship into the realm of material and pop culture. Some butterflies carry dollar sign medallions, evoking the flashy chains worn by celebrities in the 2000s and 2010s, blending themes of opulence, labor, and cultural symbolism.
