This is a paper mache sculpture representing death. it is one of 22 sculptures depicting the Tarot archetypes that we meet on our journey through life. It was made in August 2020 when the spector of death loomed large in the collective unconscious. I wanted to move away from images like the grim reaper to a portrayal of death as a mystery, the other side of the coin, an intrinsic aspect of duality. To me this sculpture evokes compassion, letting go as well as such mystery.
