Ceramic Catacomb, Ceramic InstallationSlip Casts made with Plaster Mould. Glazed and Screen-Printed Decal13cm(l)x 6.5cm(w)x7.5cm(h)x20, Unframedx 13 available£100 per skull x 13 available + p&p uk at point of saleCeramic Catacomb is an installation piece of approximately twenty ceramic skulls coming out of a wall, similar to catacombs. This piece is about challenging people to face death - literally and metaphorically - and is in honour of the lives of all creatures. This piece is influenced by the catacombs and caves filled with skulls to bury the dead during times of war and disease when there were too many deaths. The decals decorating the skulls are inspired by tarot cards and the Ñatitas of Bolivia, which are skulls found by the living and believed to provide wisdom.Originally from Fife; I currently reside in Aberdeen, after recently graduating with a First Class BA(Hons) Contemporary Art Practice degree from Gray’s School of Art.
Currently, my interdisciplinary practice is about death; particularly the taboo that surrounds it and my respect for other creatures.
