Day of The Dead: Catrina 5

Collection

Untitled Collection #252906009

Description

Dia de Los Muertos, or Day of The Dead, is, somewhat counterintuitive, a celebration of life, is held on November 1 and 2, and is a holiday that involves family and friends gathering to pray for and to remember friends and family members who have died. Perhaps the most famous "character" associated with the celebration is "La Calavera Catrina" by Mexican lithographer José Guadalupe Posada, first seen as a political cartoon mocking Mexican women who tried to emulate the Spanish upper crust in dress and manner. This is a collection of images derived from one "master" image: Catrina 1., which I initially developed for a new ballet called "Spirit Garden," during an 11-month collaboration with Ballet Tucson and the great choreographer Chieko Imada. The ballet premiered in 2016 and is now part of the Company's bi-annual rotation of performances. The other images are variations on the theme. Since that collaboration, I have returned to this core image time after time, and almost always find inspiration there.
