Santa Fe Museum of International Folk Art
Two pieces that struck me while visiting the Museum of International Folk Art today:
Bicycle Paper Mache Figure Store
I couldn’t get close to this bicycle, so I shot it from above. Since the Chivas mascot is prominent amongst the paper mache figures, it’s safe to assume that it’s a Mexican shop on wheels, beautiful!
Decorated Head Set
I failed to write down where this head piece is from, I believe either Bolivia or Peru. A video next to a few of these featured the man who makes them from discarded objects. During a festival, men wear these things on their heads, there’s an entire armature within it that the performers need to hold, so that the piece stays in place.
