Adori is a very good, early example of the artist's work in assemblage. The artist created a hinged shadow box reliquary full of symbolism in its many collaged details, including beaded roses, plastic red lobsters and a brightly colored painted rainbow. This collage was also the basis for the same-titled 1973 lithograph.
