Dealing With Death...

A common theme among the last few exhibits and lecturers was death as inspiration for creativity. I don't know if it was intended or not but here's something I found that was an interesting followup in preparing for my paper.

I also remember an exercise that entailed writing your own obituary... as morbid as it sounds it does help you clarify some things you want to get out. I imagine this is personal reflection and individual death as inspiration not neccessarily utlizing death of others (loved one or not) as inspiration or creative engine to move through the grieving process.
