Roberto Gil de Montes, “Contra Mar” (2022)

https://hyperallergic.com/785698/ways-of-seeing-according-to-roberto-gil-de-montes/

This is Tatewari, the Huichol god of fire. The medium is yarn art, wherein a mixture of beeswax and pine resin is used to coat a surface and then yarn is arranged and pressed into it. Huichol spiritual practices include the consumption of peyote. But maybe that's obvious. This piece belongs to my partner and I photographed it at her request for another endeavor. But I thought y'all might like to see it.
