Blue Skull Series
The Blue Skull Series is an early compact system: skull, abstraction, teeth, sword, sky, and skeleton variations testing how a single image mutates.
Meaning
The Blue Skull Series is useful because it makes serial thinking visible. The works repeat a small vocabulary and let each version alter the pressure of the last.
Skull imagery here is not only death imagery. It is also a head, a mask, a hard symbol, and a structure for color to push against.
Because the series predates many later archive clusters, it reads like a laboratory for later habits: recurrence, variation, emblem-making, and the problem of whether a face can be reduced to a sign.
