Death
Skull & Bones
This is my most favourite 'Memento Mori' carving. Memento Mori is a medieval term for 'remembering that you will die', meaning to the viewer that you must think upon death, and prepare yourself for the Afterlife.
This carving exists on a grave at St Bertoline's Church in Barthomley, Cheshire. A local haunt of mine!
I also have this design tattooed upon my arm. I love designing tattoos or finding images within the real world I can convert into a tattoo.
Death Skull
I have a fascination with all things deathly. I love Gothic images and anything dark.
This is an image of Death with scythe and a paint brush.
A Skeleton
A Skeleton glowing within the darkness.
Death Cherub
This is a depiction of a Cherub holding Death's requisite symbol of time, an hourglass.
I found this Cherub at Newland Church in the Forest of Dean.
The King of Skulls
This piece was inspired by my favourite church symbolism, namely 'Memento Mori'.
It depicts a skull surrounded by ten coffins.
Entwined Hearts
A common image found on graves is that of the heart.
This grave motif can be found at Barthomley Church in Cheshire.
Stigmata
This piece was inspired by a ceiling boss in a Church.
It refers to the five wounds of Christ through the story of the Passion.
