I LOVE altars. Making visual representation of sacred, beautiful, meaningful things in ones life is so divine. We all do it, even if we don’t think we do. Family photos, pictures of the Ancestors, sports trophies, art from the children on the refrigerator, these are all physical, tangible offerings of what we deem note and praise worthy. These are some of my own altars, as well as offerings from my family and friends. This is girls gone wild Altar stylee.
Enjoy and happy resurrection.

Irony as a way of life. Pop art until we die. YAH baby!
I found the Virgen of the Dolphins JUST LIKE THIS {I added the skull} during my Debris series on the land in New Mexico. She has her heart Chakra blown open, with a leaping dolphins figurine wedged in her heart cavity. Damn life is cool.
Dance for the Altars, DANCE!!
Self-as-altar-alter. "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me." Wish I could get the Jesus and mary earrings in the picture. Happy day, we must sacredly adorn ourself for the Christ consciousness awakened-God Bless the WHOLE world, no exceptions.
