Beautiful work! I hadn't heard of Fisk coffins before and it's the best Internet rabbit hole I've fallen down in months. I found a PBS documentary about one that was dug up in a construction site in NYC with a wonderfully preserved smallpox mummy inside: www.pbs.org/video/woman-...

What's the distinction between a reproduction and a replica?

Thanks! Technically cheating because it's the first skull I posted, but I wanted to show off the rest of the costume

And this photo I've never even published because the exposure is so bad. All three photos from abandoned nuclear reactor sites.

And I am even more astounded when looking at the rest of the Lumen series, Because there are more echoes between our work. www.flickr.com/photos/avius...

It's astounding. When I saw your painting in my feed, at first I thought maybe you had been there, or seen photos online that inspired you. But I read about your work and learned that your Lumen paintings are from 1997, long before the reactor site I photographed had been accessible.

What's better, posting a link to Flickr or posting the photo directly? I could go either way.

Thanks for re-sharing! As a new follower I didn't know about this. I am truly spooked. It's haunting and and moving in the best way. I've used a sketchbook to process trauma in the past, and it's mind-blowing how those feelings and emotions can come through in the art.

Mine was taken kind of far from the beaten path, in an abandoned nuclear power plant site near Nashville. You can see more of the location in the Flickr album. Lots of very interesting rust and monolithic concrete.

Also you should know that those foreboding bells are actually just someone clinking dishes in the kitchen, accidentally caught in my slow-mo video. But someone should lay down a pipe organ accompanyment.

Ooh lovely! I think I've been there. www.flickr.com/photos/avius...

Zombies as a metaphor for the Irrevocable Trust

Thanks! It's my own special recipe.

Thanks! It was fun letting this one get really drippy
