"Death
Rides " by Pam Marin-Kingsley, © 2006
Detail
of Death's hand
|
Taking
an inspiration from Colonial tombstones found in cemetaries
in the area where the artist lives and combining it with her
love of the macabre and horror stories... this image was born.
The quote on the grave stone is from: Reginald Heber, (1783-1826),
an Anglican Bishop who served in Calcutta,India in the late
early 19th century when India was still a British colonial holding.
The quotation is from the poem "At a Funeral. No. i"
"Death
rides on every passing breeze,
He lurks in every flower."
This work is an exploration of the darker side of our
existence in an elegant, powerful graphic format.
