Rituals of Life


"Rituals of Life" 11"x14" Acrylic on Shaped Wood Panel.

Here is my submission for the DIA DE LOS MUERTOS show at Proximity Gallery. I wanted to focus on the religious aspect of the holiday and how it brings people closer to those who have passed on. I had alot of discussion back and forth with my room mate, Rachel about the piece so that it would read well and clear enough to get the idea across I was going for.

Very touching. I like the background a lot, as well as the gesture.

I had fun painting it. I was talking to Collie earlier and I was like yeah, I painted and not silk screened it. So it was fun getting back into it.
