The object I choose to work with for this project is a skull with various symbols etched into it. Many of the symbols relate to religion, with a cross on the back and other Celtic symbols on the front. Personally, I think that skulls represent death and rebirth but in a celebratory way. Many people think skulls represent darkness which can be true in some cases but to me they symbolize the celebration of moving on to something or somewhere new. A skull is mostly used to denote death or danger. Many warning labels for dangerous chemicals use skulls to show that their contents can cause harm. Some cultures use skulls to celebrate their dead or to represent good health and new beginnings. Keeping this in mind, I want my project to follow the idea of embracing something new. I think that by using different materials I can show that to become something new, you must change both physically and mentally. I plan to do this by altering the skulls after I cast them and cause damage to some or build upon them.
