Skulls have held powerful meanings throughout history, from symbols of protection against evil spirits to representations of death, rebirth, and spiritual connection. But can something as heavy as death be portrayed in a light, creative way? On this episode of The Empty Coffin, we dive deep into the world of contemporary artists who use skulls and bones as their medium of expression. Our special guest, Katherine Harrison, a dedicated farmer and ethical supplier of animal bones, explains how honoring the spirit of each animal helps artists create meaningful, respectful pieces. These talented creators share their process and reveal how their work, though rooted in the macabre, is not inherently dark. Instead, it’s a unique blend of beauty, transformation, and respect. Join us as we uncover how these artists reshape the way we think about oddities and macabre art, offering a fresh and respectful take on a timeless subject. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that will leave you with a new appreciation for this captivating art form! Listen now on The Empty Coffin podcast!
