Artifacts Gallery

This is my largest gallery.  As I stated in the Architecture gallery, I love the challenge of capturing humanity through human creations – through the objects that people live with and interact with.

I also love the way nature reclaims manmade objects.  Decay and even death figure into my works in this area.  One of the subjects that I find most compelling is death and the reincorporation of death into the realm of the living.  Mexico is great for this subject, as the Mexican cultural perspective on death is quite different than what we know here in the U.S.  We don’t have a “Day of the Dead” every year in this country…
