….well the Calavera that we put together for the La Calaca Festival here in San Miguel has left the nest. I brought it home to do some touch up after the festival…it was here for a week more in my studio. Today Sergio and Juan, two of the producers of the Festival took it away. It will be on display for a few weeks at the Casa Primavera here in San Miguel…then it may go on tour…before settling in with a certain someone….There are rumours that it will be at Burning Man next year. Part of my heart and soul resides in this piece…my assistants Carlos and Margarito Ramirez joined me on work days…a few times at 5 am…We rocked…..I am so proud…here is a photo that Spencer Tunick took…..I believe it is the best shot so far…..
FABULOUS!!!!
You are the MAN
Magical, mesmerizing and the embodiment of Dia de los Muertos. I missed seeing it in person when in San Miguel, but since it’s traveling, I hope to see it in San Francisco.
