Day of the Dead installation

Day of the Dead Installation

Natural Forms project final piece. Installation final piece. This piece was inspired by the mexican festival "The Day of the Dead". This piece explored the idea of death being a celebrated event where a persons soul is able to move on to a better place. Many butterflies and flowers were drawn using coloured pencils, these were then photocopied and all hung on clear wire. This was then installed in my school gallery.

Sketchbook page for installation

The Day of the Dead

A4 size sketchbook scan. These pages are development of my final piece installation for my AS natural forms project. The installation is greatly inspired by nature and "The Day of the Dead". I explored how this day is a celebration for the deceased as their souls are believed to have moved on to a better place. The butterflies that are included in this piece are to symbolise the soul of the person moving on as they are seen flying away from the skull.

Natural Forms final piece

Natural forms final piece 1

One of my final pieces for the natural forms AS level project. I have tried to capture themes of spirituality and nature with the lotus flowers in this piece. Photoshop was used to repeat and reflect the image to create the circle showing unity and wholeness.
