Label Text:
Celestial Bodies is a post mortem collaboration of the artist with the creamated ashes of her parents and her mother in law. Drawing inspiration from her Catholic roots and current Buddhist belief systems, as well as theoretical astronomical physics, Hayden scatters the ashes onto a scanning bed while invoking a mantra, prayer, invocation, memory or more lightheartedly combinging the ashes of her parents while playing ther favorite song, "Sentimental Journey." - artist statement from jacquelinehayden.net
