look at attitudes to death</span"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;""> </span"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"">in different<br>
cultures and the past when life expectancy was less. Major influences have<br>
been, Mexico’s Day of the Dead and Gothic symbolism and colour palette. My<br>
research suggests other cultures are less afraid of death and feel more<br>
connected to those who have died.<br"></span"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;""><br">This piece was further inspired by Istvan<br>
Laszlo he had kept in mind personalities, when drawing peoples skulls and I<br>
used this approach when creating my lino print.<br"></span"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;""><br">I wanted to create a piece that symbolises<br>
death as part of the natural cycle, yet was beautiful and rhythmic in relation<br>
to its pattern.</span"></font"></p">
