Redding CA Library Installation

Yesterday Tanya and I installed our Dia de los Muertos papier mache artwork altar in the front lobby of the main Shasta County Public Library.

This is a very good venue for a "new" artist like me to begin showing my work. It is free (for me and the viewers) and the public at large is welcome.

The Redding Main Library (which is the Shasta County Library as mentioned) is a large new facility and is well attended by most literate Redding residents. The "outreach" staff has been very helpful and enthusiastic for this installation and our previous mask exhibition. (Thanks, Meagan!)

The entire exhibition is created of papier mache--even the cerveza bottle and the frijoles can!

The Dia de los Muertos installation will run until November 2, 2008.

The masks pictured above were designed especially for seasonal dances.

It remains to be seen if they will be used for this purpose.

Mexican cemeteries in New Mexico are some of the most colorful and artistic works of Installation Art I know.
