Description

In this, the second of three shows, we are still contemplating the fascinating gravestone art on the stone of Relief Wilcox Town of Halifax, VT, and the extravagant and symbolic nature of the moon/stars and willow motif. To understand what is could mean, we need a lesson is the history of gravestone art in the region. From skulls, to soul effigies to the ubiquitous willow and urn, gravestone art changes over time. Come and learn what drove those changes and where Relief's stone fits into it all.
