Digital photo-collage and painting. Oddly enough, the Bone Church is a real place . . . I'd had this idea of placing Angel against a close-up photograph of pelvic arches, cathedral-style, and the title "The Bone Church" came to me . . . I Googled it to make sure I wasn't ripping the idea off someone else (it's unusual that a title just springs to mind like that for me), and I realized that I'd heard about this place, a long time ago, but it had long since slipped my conscious mind . . . The Ossuary of Kutna Hora is a Christian church which, in the 1500's, was decorated with over 40,000 sets of human bones. It's absolutely unbelievable . . . I've got to go to Prague someday to see it, as well as all the gorgeous architecture :) Thanks to Madelyn for some of the Bone Church photos I used in this piece :> Links: Photo gallery Information page and more pictures More Angel of Death images: AngelOfDeath_Illustration AngelOfDeath_TattooFlash TattooAngelFresh (summer 2003) TattooAngelSketch (February 2002) MaterMetis_2003 AngelOfDeath Come Undone The Bone Church The Bone Church II AngelWings Scarlet Halo << Temptation Gallery View TheBoneChurch_II >> |
