"Dia de Los Muertos Bench" 2014, Artist: Wes Horn, Located at Ace Hardware, 4th and G Streets, Davis, California
|
|
A sign embedded in the sidewalk read:
|
|
The "Dia de Los Muertos Bench" was located in the parking lot for Ace Hardware.
|
|
The bench was highly decorated with designs that related to the Mexican Day Of the Dead (Dia de Los Muertos) celebration.
|
|
One the side of the bench, a skeletal man held out a cob of corn to a skirted skeletal woman.
|
|
The front back of the bench featured a floral eyed skull surrounded by insects, a bird, flowers and cactus.
|
|
The seat of the bench was a repeating tile mosaic pattern.
|
|
The lower front of the bench featured skeletal hands holding a heart. To one side, two skeletal people walked a skeletal dog. On the other side, two skeletal people rode bicycles. Notice that the skeletal bike riders wore helmets for safety.
|
|
The back of the "Dia de Los Muertos" bench showed an upright guitar with a woman at its base.
The words along the top translated into: The life of the dead endures in the memory of the living.
