I've created and exhibited Nichos for a long time... they are based on the Mexican Nichos, a little shrine used to display saints and icons, usually the Virgin Mary. I fell in love with them after living on the border in San Diego, USA. The Mexican people make them out of what ever they can find and you will mostly see them in missions and Churches but I've also experienced amazing creations protecting homes and businesses. Beginning usually with a base of tin, they then use paper, paint and found objects to create these very sacred and precious little shrines.
My nichos are created in the magic workshop from found treasures and objects then brought to life through meditation, ritual and lots of love.
Blessed and Empowered.
