The Artwork of
L. Crystal Michallet-Romero
Mixed media of ceramic and bronze.
I made this in a beginning ceramics course.  The assignment was to
incorporate at least on other art medium and create something that shows
what we love, or someone whom we admire.  We were to include a quote
that would convey the mood of the piece.  

As a long time admirer or the East Indian poet, Mirabai, I decided to
include one of her poems.  I intentionally made the placard tan in hopes to
make it look older than what is actually is.  The incorporation of Ganesh
was natural, as I view him to be one of the most important Gods, next to
Krishna.
I bought the bronze piece a few years before I took this class and never
knew what I was going to do with it.  Once the project came up, I was
finally able to utilize this unique bronze piece.  In this placard I see the
male figure as Khrisna, and the woman next to him is Mirabai.
