Bay Area artist Al Farrow has an affinity for creating replications of various religious gathering spaces. This, of course, is not revolutionary. What is unconventional, however, is the medium he uses: gun parts. From the scope to the trigger, the handle to the bullets, the pins to the chamber, all pieces of the gun are utilized. Farrow doesn't offer much explanation as to the message behind his medium, but if a picture is worth 1,000 words, a synagogue, mosque or cathedral made from glock parts has to be worth at least that many.
Check out all his reliquaries here.
