Sky Burial

Sky Burial

I wanted to offer a piece that gave reverence to that reinterring of both the physical body and the spirit… Even though the Native Americans’ remains were being reinterred into the earth, I wanted to create a metaphor of them also being interred into the sky…  I wanted to do a piece that interacted with the landscape and with the history, both sensitively and with reverence and purpose.– Bethany Shorb
