Skull Pattern Socks
Description: I started this mini-series back in 2016 and, honestly, didn't know what the end result would be. At the time, I was just cranking them because they were fun to do, and I completed one within a few hours. The majority of the Skulls and Buddhas series are either 4x6 or 5x7 inches. It always seemed to me that the symbolism of skulls and the Buddha (in a meditative pose) is similar. In the practice of sitting meditation, we confront the inescapable reality of impermanence, and the skull often symbolizes mortality. The simple fact that we will have to face our own last breath.
Description: Pattern of white skulls and crossbones .The skulls have various expressions, some with teeth showing and others with simple eye sockets and nasal cavities. The crossbones are arranged behind or beneath the skulls, creating a dense and somewhat eerie composition. The style is simple and graphic, with a slightly distressed or textured look.
