Day of the Dead sculpture by Barbara Morrison
5:00 PM Montana Art & Framing
Description:
Barbara Morrison-"Day of the Dead" mixed media
Much of my work is informed by myth, folklore, and dreams- I get ideas from folk and ethnic art and from folk tales from around the world. Many of my pieces are done using traditional fiber techniques from many countries, and using cast-off or recycled materials is important to me. I like the flat bright colors found in folk and tribal art, as well as the attention to detail. The inspiration for the Day of the Dead figures comes from Latin America, but using skeletons as icons for the inevitability of death is universal, and the "Grim Reaper" figure is everywhere in world literature and folk art, along with devils, angels and sinners. I recently joined an international group of "Naive" artists who work in a folk art tradition that I like, and many of my gouache paintings are reminiscent of this style, while other pieces are simply nature studies that I have done while traveling.
