Art of the Dead

On this Day of the Dead, a short film of an art exhibition in the Oakland Museum of California. Interesting range of approaches, from organic and earthy to glossy plastic.



Both charity and writing work went well today. And there were conversations with friends that warmed the soul :-)

Its the vibrancy of the imagery that strikes me every time.... not the dark candled, shrouding of the Victorians, not Hamlet's musing on tongueless skills nor even Auden's muffled drum.... hard to grasp sometimes but thought provoking all the same.

Yeah, it is a totally different approach - death as a vibrant new life...
