“Raum, Reym (Rey) or Raim is a great earle, he is seene as a crowe, but when he putteth on humane shape, at the commandement of the exorcist, he stealeth woonderfullie out of the kings house, and carrieth it whether he is assigned, he destroieth cities, and hath great despite unto dignities, he knoweth things present, past, and to come, and reconcileth freends and foes, he was of the order of thrones, and governeth thirtie legions.”
—Johann Weyer, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum
The work of Raum’s Artifacts is broken down into “artifacts” and “oddities” with the prior referring to vintage clock radios and speakers which have been repaired and fully upgraded with a dark twist. The oddities are sculptural pieces of art centered around the macabre. They utilize the elements of the human, the mystical, the natural, and the technological.
