The Day of the Dead is a joyous Mexican tradition celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, is a time to remember and spiritually reconnect with departed loved ones. Originating in ancient Mexico, this custom is celebrated in many North, Central and South American countries.
The pieces in this exhibit were inspired by the imagery of this colorful tradition. The gallery show includes mixed media masks, retablos and jewelry. One dramatic piece, "The Dream" draws on this tradition, while incorporating darker, ancient Mayan imagery as well.
