“Offerings II”

On the first drawing of this series I used the skull of a male mammal as a symbol of ovaries, on this piece I used a sheep’s skull to represent… “masculinity”… really curious coincidences of patterns in nature… Graphite, white chalk and black wax pencil on hand toned paper.

This weekend I took my latest ceramics experimentation to the wild (my home city). It’s beautiful and super close to incredible locations. The first nature shot was in one of the holiest places of pagan Iberia: “Cabeço das Fráguas”. This site contains an incredibly rare inscription describing a ritual to the old gods in an ancient indo-european language. The rest of the shots where taken in the vicinity of continental Portugal’s highest mountain, Serra da Estrela.
