Death is a tough subject for many people, especially in this society, and rituals surrounding death from other cultures are often misunderstood and seen as macabre until you understand the essence of those practices. Here in Western society, where youth is king, death is something of a feared and taboo subject. People just don't want to talk about it. I have chosen to look closely where most other turn away. I find beauty in the empty vehicles left behind at the passing of life and i am fascinated by the structure there, the bone, fur or feathers that remain as record of where lief once dwelled. My work here deals with concepts of the turn of the wheel, change and transmutation and making a visual notation (and therefore an honoring) of the dead. I don't intend this work to be particularly grisly, though i suppose sometimes that can't be helped. :-)David Sorcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12813231083253335013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427473523256740833.post-39151182688613145502013-05-30T13:21:02.026-04:002013-05-30T13:21:02.026-04:00David your last post explaining why you take photo...David your last post explaining why you take photographs of dead animals totally change how I look at your personal project. I mistakenly just thought it was a macab side of you which did not bother me at all. Then to learn the real reason touched me deeply. I will keep my eyes and ears open for a venue and you can bet I will be there. I'll even help you set up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
