Since much of my art is focused upon light on form, it should come as no surprise that I am attracted to Dia de los Muertos, where the parameter line in-between life and death becomes blurred. Shading doesn’t happen in the highlights or the core shadows, but in the spaces between them. A binary world seems less interesting than a fuzzy place where strange, unexpected things can happen. My work explores transitional spaces and limnal states; juxtopositons which lend themselves well to the theme of Dia de los Muretos.

I love your pieces in this show. I too enjoyed the Aztec dancers.
Was it just me or did all that rattling and stomping bring an extra dimension to the dance?
Definitely! I could hear them inside the library and even that was amazing…
Your work is great as always, but these dancers are amazing too! Thanks for sharing!
You can only see the costumes, but they had rattles on their greaves and maracas, so the acoustics were quite interesting as well. That aspect of the performance wasn’t captured in the snaps
I’m sure there’s a big que who want to be sacrificed to the “Hot Aztec Dancer”!
Just so long as you all queue up behind me…
Ha ha No cutting in line!
Wait your turn buddy
I like the headdresser most.
They are really something, aren’t they?
Just excellent in my opinion. Keep up the great work
Rest assured the I most definitely shall…
