'Liturgy' by Matthew Amey

The human skull has been a large part of my work for the past few years. I have been exploring the skull in a number of mediums, techniques and sizes for a while and this is the culmination of those efforts.  The skull floats ominously just two feet off of the wall and about 5 feet off the floor. Pink foam insulation, steel, nylon fabric. Approx. 22" x 24" x 18" © Matthew Amey 2011

"Everything is contained within." by Matthew Amey

The mind processes everything; our experiences, our thoughts, our views. Site, sound, smell, taste, touch are all chemical impulses that travel to the brain for processing. The skull protects the mind and in our mind is where the concept of reality lives!

So the skull is where our 'Everything' is contained.

Wood, steel and metallic paint. Approx. 5' 6" tall; free standing sculpture.
