I've just been taking some photographs of my Day of the Dead models for my granddaughter's art project.
I collected the objects together when I was researching for a painting about my mother entitled 'OFFRENDA' in 1997. Although I used Sooty and friends to represent our family I was interested in the idea of building an altar of memories, Mexican style, to celebrate those that had died but would not be forgotten.
You can see the photographs of part of my collection and the painting on my latest Instagram post, which is also available on my website
