Para el Día de los Muertos. This ex-voto pays homage to my family and ancestors who passed away over many generations of Coupers and the families of my lineage. ( Until July this year, I was 6th generation New Zealander. ) In this ex-voto I use my pop’s prosthetic leg & my great-grandfather’s Rotherdam pocket-watch, one of only objects I brought with me to the USA.
