ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
The Death of Spirituality contains a number of Wojnarowicz's recurring symbols and images in a single composition. This work features a snake charmer with one eye, the head of Jesus Christ, a web of blood-red veins extending from a kachina doll and machinery parts in four comic strip-like frames. The painting depicts destruction proliferating alongside technological advancement and geographic conquest. Obviously, not an optimistic view.
