La Calavera Catrina

                               Adriene Cruz @ Dia De Los Muertos Shrine


According to the novel little handbook that is included in the Grand Etteilla tarot, the cards Adriene chose foretold a meeting with an unsavory priest.  As a recovering Catholic, she got a laugh out of this prediction, remembering the hypocrisy and authoritarian attitude that she experienced in the fold.  Adriene now explores spirituality in other forms and expresses herself through her mind-blowingly intricate textile art.  Interestingly, her quilts share similar qualities as her portrait:  warm colors, interesting amalgamations, an air of mystery... her quilts are way less blurry than this photo though.
