Skeleton Love (Calavera Amor)

"Calavera Amor" is a silk painting in the French Serti style, and finished in wax batik to add layers of texture and contrast. This is a sister piece to another called "Ofrenda." Both draw on the observation of the "Dia de los Muertos" cultural traditions. It is a playful, colorful painting with an intricate level of dye resist line work.
