"All the Same Under the Skin" by Pat Apt

Artist's Statement
This is the dream of my life, a society where the diversity of people is as appreciated as the diversity of flowers and butterflies. I am a printmaker, and live much of the time in Mexico, where I have grown to appreciate the traditions of the Day of the Dead. Hence my submission.
