Tide Muertita
Tide is part of the "Tide And Blossom" family of Muertitas. Her bones are decorated with sea-shells that were collected by friends. The story goes that she had been hunted for her knowledge, but because she cannot truly die, she remains between the world of the living and the dead. Original mixed media sculpture. Materials include clay, wood, resin, acrylic paint, UV sealant, epoxy glue, stainless steel wire, foam, styrofoam, synthetic flowers, sea shells, barnacles, moss. Photo by Christopher Rigg
