My altar installation is almost complete. A few more flowers have to be made and then I can step back and enjoy the end results. So far I am amazed to see an otherworldly experience I had, become a visual statement of art. I feel a combination of happiness, satisfaction, sentimentality. All feelings are very powerful. I also feel very relieved to have this experience out of my head and onto an art form that can be shared with many.
Artist Henson Flye, created the fabulous hands in my altar. After meeting with him and sharing my experience, sketches, some background info on what my Dad was like, he put together an amazing sculpture of hands made from chicken wire and tape. Together we painted the hands white then inserted white lights to illuminate the hands with amazing results.
