Lost a dear friend and mentor this week. He was a friend to my grandfather, father, and to me. A Korean war USMC vet and a longstanding member of Rancheros Visitadores, Ed Borcherdt will be missed. RIP Ed.

visited the site of the battle of flodden field the other day! despite studying the tudors at a level, id not appreciated the death toll of the three hour battle til now! the photo on the right shows the memorial, and the right shows the church where it’s claimed the body of king james iv of scotland was taken after his death.
Started in 2020 by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer after having COVID-19 himself, this ongoing exhibition visualizes and memorializes the extraordinary loss caused by COVID-19.
During a time when distance and stillness halted public rituals of mourning, “A Crack in the Hourglass, An Ongoing COVID-19 Memorial” continues to provide a virtual and physical space to mourn loved ones lost to the pandemic.
In this participatory artwork, a modified robotic plotter deposits grains of hourglass sand onto a black surface to recreate the images of those lost due to COVID-19. After each portrait is completed, the surface tilts and the same sand is recycled into the next portrait, echoing the collective and ongoing nature of the pandemic.
Participate and learn more about this exhibition.
The Shoes on the Danube Bank is another powerful memorial. The 60 iron sculpted pairs of shoes represents the 3,500 people shot into the Danube River towards the end of WWII. The victims were told to take off their shoes before being murdered…..

The National Cathedral in Washington paid tribute to Matthew Shepard this week with the installation of a plaque honoring the legacy of the slain gay student. The plaque was unveiled Tuesday at a memorial service attended by Shepard’s parents, Judy and Dennis. It is inscribed with a quote attributed to Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop and a close friend of the Shepard family. “Matt, rest gently in this place,” it reads. “You are home safe now.”

This is a poem a friend’s mum wrote 30 years ago after her father’s death. I added some birth flowers and colour they can frame it as a gift as it’s 30 years since his passing. #illustration #luckycattattoo #luckycattattooparlour #glasgow #flowers #floral #rose #roses #gladioli #carnations #poem #font #script #memorial
