THE HUICHOLES OF THE NAYAR MOUNTAINS ARE AN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY WITH A RICH ARTISTIC PAST, WORKING WITHYARN AND BEADED MATERIALS. THE HUICHOL ARTISTS COMMUNICATE THE LEGENDS AND MYTHS OF THEIR CULTURE THROUGH STUNNING WORKS OF ART. USING COLORFUL THREAD, THE ARTIST BINDS YARN TO WOODEN PLATES BY HAND WITH HONEY, CREATING INTRICATE AND GRAPHIC VISUALS.
OUR ARTIST TRAVELS TWO HOURS EACH WAY FROM HER 'PUEBLITO' TO BRING HER PIECES TO OUR MEETINGS. WHEN SHE DOES WE WRITE TOGETHER, THE MEANING OF EACH OF HER PAINTINGS.
"WE WORSHIP THE GOD OF CORN, MAIZ HAS GIVEN US LIFE. WE PAY HOMAGE TO THIS GREAT GIFT AT ALL CEREMONY'S."
