Coffins

PANGARDEN STUDIO

the art of Chris McCasland

 
 

It is my objective to produce the most beautiful coffins in the world. People have asked me...why would I go to so much trouble, so much time, to create something so beautiful, only to be seen briefly and then lost forever? And I say...Is that not the point? Just as the loved one’s life was beautiful and brief, art is sacrificed in tribute to honor them. I consider the coffin to be a significant work of art. This one, in eglomise mosaic, is done in the Aesthetic style. It is a coffin that Oscar Wilde would have loved.
