Skulls
Images of skulls have been used as a memento mori (a reminder of one’s own mortality) for hundreds of years, images encouraged people to live piously, when life was seen as preparation for the afterlife.
Skulls remain a symbol of death, becoming synonymous with alternative culture, but with the individual meaning of the skull being more personal; an intent to cheat death, to take risks, a rememberance of lost loved ones, as an acceptance of life and death working in harmony, or as a statement to live life to the fullest and most vibrant.
I have produced a wide variety of ornamental ceramic skulls. These skulls are available in different sizes and colours, and in a range of designs.
