Art Description (What inspired you to create the artwork?) A "dead saint" is an oxymoron by itself, as a saint is a person that is recognized for their holiness after death. But can a "saint" truly die, abandoned by the humanity collective's thoughts? "Dead Saint" is a work that was made with frottage - a technique that requires you to rub a texture surface to bring out a work of art - from mostly old and abandoned tombstones, those tombstones that were carved with words and images of saints. "Dead Saint" is a reminder that memories from the living is why we live, and only when the world has long forgotten those memories then we are truly dead.
