This small, handmade shrine was conceived by visual artist Tony Stamolis as part of his ongoing multimedia project, $CRAP$. The "modern sacred space" was inspired by Greek Orthodox and New Mexican chapels, "with a little stupa thrown in."
Built by local artisans as a sanctuary "to find the quiet mind," it is intended to take one back to a stripped-down simplicity, to spend extended time both inside and out, and absorb the natural drama of the Upper Rio Grande Valley.
