A variety of drawings that I created in April and May of 2020. 
Some of these drawings a retrospective of rituals of death and some are re an inclusion of poetry with the detailed drawings of skulls. 
All of these drawings are made with a dip pen and ink. ​​​​​​​

Drawings with Poetry 
The inclusion of poetry with my drawings can allow me to change the meaning of the work, but also can add to it. For example, a simple drawing of a skull can become a more meaning and powerful image with my insights and emotions - or the voices of the animal skulls. 
Below are my first attempts at this idea. These are not necessarily finished works, but they feel relevant in showing my path of thought. ​​​​​​​
Drawings of Rituals
In response to various rituals that I have researched such as: 
+ The sacrificial last breath of the bison.
+A highland funeral.
+Placing bones within an urn.
+ The bells on graves.
