I decided to do a series of three wood burnings on tree stumps. The series consists of a female, a male and two birds. The faces of the people are slowly being turned into skulls, showing that it is there but not fully prominent yet. The birds I have decided to use are the crow and the yellow bird. The crow is a symbol of life, death, and rebirth. It represents the circle of life connecting to the skeleton I have chosen to show on the faces. The faces are living with a hint of death thrown in, making you aware that it is always there. The yellow bird is there to represent the relationships that we have with the people around us. It connects the male and the female and makes you think about their relationship. It also makes you think about their relationship with life and death. It further makes you think about our own relationship with life and death.
I am really happy with these pieces! Here are some process photos along with the finished pieces.
