About The Artwork
I acquired this skull from a rural Saskatchewan taxidermist and decorated it with mandalas. The skull would have otherwise been thrown out. I am not a fan of hunting, I value the lives of animals and that is why I have started this style of art. I want to honour their lives and create mandalas on them to enhance the beauty of the skull. Mandalas hold a sacred energy and when infused into the animal skull, I feel that it creates a completely different vibration around the death of the animal. I am an Archaeologist by trade and working with bone has always been a hobby of mine. It is a very old tradition, art on animal skulls is popular around the world. I am working through my deep respect for nature and trying to explore new ways of understanding death and rebirth.

I am an archaeologist and have a keen interest in animal skulls. I grew up on a farm near Tisdale, Saskatchewan and became a nature enthusiast from a young age. After visiting India in 2013, I began creating mandalas using gold ink. Mandalas are a geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically. Eventually, these mandalas laced the skulls that I accumulated legally and ethically from taxidermists, hunters, trappers and navigating forest trails. These skulls would otherwise have been discarded and I wanted to honour the animals by painting intricate patterns on them. My art combines other elements in nature including crystals, moss and wooden frames. Essence of Ash celebrates the life that once ignited the skulls and it explores realms of consciousness through meditation during mandala making.
