The Coffin Series began 20 years ago, shortly after almost dying from metal poisoning caused by spraying large metal wall reliefs with zinc and copper. Although symbols for death, they are actually vehicles for expression at the deepest levels. Some deal with hypocrisies we see every day, other with personal expressions. This print expresses the notion of where one goes after death, up or down.
