Orphans

Here are some images of the piece I just finished titled Orphans, St. Bonifacius.  (Pardon the reflections).  The large print of nine organ toes (roughly 18" x 11") is matted and framed.  Two memorial cards are held in between the frame and glass.  The image on the front of the memorial card is of the balcony in the back of the church where the remains of the organ were.

The quote on the back from critic John Ruskin reads: "We must note carefully what distinction there is between a healthy and a diseased love of change; for as it was in healthy love of change that Gothic architecture rose, it was partly in consequence of diseased love of change that it was destroyed."
