CATACOMB HEARTS, by New Orleans-based designer-maker Laura Shrewsbury, founder of the edgy and glamorous atelier Weapon of Choice New Orleans. and designer-maker for the WOC NOLA-Modern Druid line.
Inspired by Dr. Paul Koudounaris’ book 'Heavenly Bodies: Cult Treasures and Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs', Laura has created a unique art installation comprised of three adorned and bejeweled "holy relics of the Church of Rock and Roll”: a full-size Saint Fortissima, the patron Saint of Loud; the sacred head of Saint Sonic, the patron Saint of Audiophiles and Sound Engineers; and the sacred hand of Saint Axe, the patron Saint of Guitarists.
SAINT FORTISSIMA
Patron Saint of Loud
Her hallowed bejeweled guitar transfigures the previously overlooked, the hidden, and the meek, making lions out of lambs.
Pray unto her and sayeth not that girls cannot rock!
SAINT SONIC
Patron Saint of Audiophiles and Sound Engineers
With his Sacred Cigarette and Holy Highball, Saint Sonic rests eternally at his mixing board,
rewarding supplicants with patience and purity of sound...
SAINT AXE
Patron Saint of Guitarists
The Sacred Hand of Saint Axe holds aloft the Gleaming Pick of Piety.
It's beauty blinds evildoers and those who dare to repllicate guitar tracks with a synthesizer.
The Hand of Saint Axe blesses those about to rock.. and salutes them!
