Sinhacandra

I’ve been interested in ritual and myth for a long time and a shrine builder from day 1 of my involvement with the movement in 1984.
I have been using the arts for their own sake as well as a way of working with (difficult) mental states. The media I work in the most are: stained glass and mosaics, drawing and puppet making.
