I am currently involved in three different projects. First, I am revising my dissertation on medieval bronzes into a book manuscript. The second is a collaborative project dealing with image, magic, and efficacy of material objects and their ontological status. Lastly, I am creating an exhibition project dealing with votive objects (ex votos).
