American Artist Al Farrow has created an interesting and potentially controversial sculpture of a church made from guns and ammo. His artwork, titled Skull of Santa Guerro III, is part of his Reliquaries series. Farrow is known to make mini models of cathedrals, churches, temples and mosques from guns, gun parts and ammo. His artistic choices highlight the relationship between religion and war. He explains, “In my constructed reliquaries, I am playfully employing symbols of war, religion and death in a facade of architectural beauty and harmony. I have allowed my interests in art history, archeology and anthropology to influence the work. The sculptures are an ironic play on the medieval cult of the relic, tomb art, and the seductive nature of objects commissioned and historically employed by those seeking position of power.”
