A pale skull with a lit cigarette dangling from its teeth dominates this composition, rendered in cream and tan tones against a deep black background. Skeletal bones and fabric are loosely arranged below the skull in an arrangement that feels both casual and haunting, painted with expressive, visible brushwork that gives the memento mori subject an almost intimate quality. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
