Tlacuatzin - papercut under construction

Picture
When I represent a person in my work I prefer to know the person. In this case the final image is motivated by the visit I am organizing for a Mexican son huasteco trio to Toronto, called Tlacuatzin I stayed with the group's violinist last October in El Higo, Veracruz and he initiated me into the Day of the Dead traditions. While Manolo may not recognize himself in this portrait I feel it is imbued by the memories I have of the time we spent together immersed in the hypnotic melodies and vigorous line dancing that welcome the ancestors upon their return to the realm of the living.
