About the Artwork:
“I wanted to create a graveyard image with different representations of death. A Banshee, a large graveyard guard dog, a murder of crows, and a few grave stones. My goal was to create an above ground and below ground connection with the younger banshee’s human form and the Skeletons supporting the image at the bottom (along with the mushrooms, whose connections run deep through the ground).” – Helen Mask
