The Sacred Place of the Most High, drawn from Psalm 91. The show is an exploration of the scents of the Bible — fragrance as a vehicle for family heritage, spirituality, and healing, with the psalm's language of protection, shelter, and the sacred as the conceptual anchor. Amanda's building the show around a tiered fragrance organ as the centerpiece, with 22 objects total across the exhibition — a mix of scented objects and indigo-dyed framed textile pieces. Interaction is olfactory and photographic — visitors can lean in and smell but not touch.
