I love it when I'm offered/invited to participate in an exhibition because it gives me the opportunity and excuse to create a one of a kind piece that deviates a bit from what I normally make. In essence, I get to play and that is always fun!
Every year Equinox Gallery in San Antonio, TX participates and hosts a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) exhibition. This year, I wanted my piece to not be the traditional Catrina (mistress of the dead) or something so identifiable. I also wanted to use the bird bones and skull that my future mother in law gifted me (she always finds some cool dead animal on their property).
I incorporated my signature Vespa shape, the pentagon, to highlight the skull. I named this piece Maybe Sparrow after one of my favorite Neko Case songs; I'm just so pleased with this piece. I hope you like it too!
