Arte Multidimensional
De Ida y Vuelta
De Ida y Vuelta, translated Back and Forth, is a piece that I created for a Dia de los Muertos Exhibit in Eugene, OR.
Dia de los Muertos is a popular Mexican Celebration with deep roots in the Aztec Harvest rituals, paying homage to the Aztec god of Death. It was once a month long festival to give thanks, as well as to commune with loved ones who have passed on. Try as they did, the Spanish were unable to cleanse the Aztecs of this special connection they have.

The Sugar Skull phenomenon which sweeps over the world every year around All Souls Day and All Saints Day, is one aspect of the rituals that morphed with the Spanish influences.
Back in the day, sugar candy skulls were made and decorated with the names of those passed. Family members and friends would then eat these skulls to honor their ancestors.
Today, Sugar Skull face painting has become a popular costume for Dia de los Muertos celebrations.

This Unique canvas frame holds seven individual canvases together as one...separate but together! The piece is meant to hang in open space, and is designed for fluid movement of energy, back and forth. The canvases are suspended in their frames, each one gridded out with gemstones, inviting energies of protection, communication and creativity.
The front side offers an epic collage, while the back side provides the energetic glue that holds it all together.
Please Enjoy!

The Elements:
Earth, Fire, Air, Water
This was a fun piece which I created for the Maude Kerns Art for All Seasons, 2014 Annual Membership Exhibit. My personal interpretation of the elements as they relate to the many aspects of the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, Zodiac Signs, Planets, and Colors. It spins as it hangs. As energy is always moving, so too is this piece. |
