hallowe'en on my mind

I just came across this photo I took a few months ago at the Emily Carr Institute grad show... the subject matter seemed appropriately gothic for this fine Hallowe'en holiday.

"Prayer Beads (what are your mantras?)" was created by Chris Walker, a fine arts student at Emily Carr. It's made up of dozens of porcelain skulls, and it's huge. Each skull was pretty much life-size, I think. This was one of my favourite pieces in the show.
