LIGHT MY FLAME

light my flame by anthony picarelli

Ritual is of grave importance, developed and crafted with considerate detail, and meaning.  Candles are a key instruement used in conducting ceremonies, as a catholic mass to a satnic chant, a tool for seduction, or one to comfort  whilst we drift into slumber.  The work is a single fold book, executed through silkscreen printing.
