In hindsight, even with my fascination with skulls, I could have never known how appropriate they would be to represent this year. In January when I set my course I had not even heard of Covid-19 or understood the global impact of a pandemic.
With insight, it’s been a somber year that includes learning to wear a mask and to shelter-in-place. But, Marc has done his bit to add some humor to the important issues of the census and voting. He’s been a good sign in the Roadside Art Action.
With foresight, he has done his bit to remind about the power of the skull. When the accoutrements of identity are striped away we are what we have always been — bones and flesh, facing an uncertain future.
