Day of the Dead has been on my mind since last September. Several people in my life died, and even more to the point, it leaves the living with things to think about. And since I am firmly planted in my sixties now, I am rethinking who, what, why, where and what. Having lived near the US/Mexico border most of my adult life, I am grateful for the color and mixture of cultures. The skulls are inspired by the sugar skulls that are made and given, during the celebrations of Day of the Dead, Novembver 1st and 2nd. Mine are about archetypes, instead of specific individuals.
