MEMENTO MORI
Online exhibit SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17th 10am cst ONLINE SHOP
Traditional memento mori objects sit right on the edge between hope and darkness. They can remind you about the transitory nature of life and also about how to live your best life here and now. This is a special online update of twelve "existence-themed" Totum Fauna. MEMENTO MORI is available on SATURDAY, October 17th at 10AM CST along with the hauntingly beautiful ceramics
of artist Melissa Muller. View & purchase Melissa's work at: www.melissajmuller.com
In the 16th and 17th centuries, 'cabinets of curiosities' or 'cabinets of wonder' stored and exhibited a wide variety of objects and artifacts, with a particular leaning towards the rare, eclectic and esoteric. Through the selection of objects, they told a particular story about the world and nature. The pieces in CABINET of CURIOSITIES are deeper explorations of this. Contact Anita at Curly Tale Fine Art to purchase.

TOTUM FAUNA is an archaic name for all of nature's animal life.
The creations on this page are nature totems. They are magical creatures in metamorphosis, like us. They dwell in forest trees and mossy earth. Some fly in the open sky others remain on solid land.
They speak in different ways. They will teach you a story if you choose to listen. What do they whisper?
