Beautiful Museum-Quality Art
The Chimu Dog is my third piece of Mr. Acosta's work. We have the owl cat and another piece (square Cupisnique cat?). The detail is very fine and particularly love the earthy finish. Never been to Peru but have been reading up on these older cultures through the influence of seeing your work. We were glad to find your loan on Kiva to be able to support your workshop. Phenomenal!
Mexican memory-holder
I love Mexico's ancient cultures, archaeology sites, and handicrafts, and I've adopted "Dia de los muertos" as a tradition for remembering my parents, grandparents, and ancestors. As a dog lover, I wanted a representation of my old canine friends, as well, and this figure guards their memory on my Day of the Dead altar and on my bookcase year-round. It has very special meaning for me.
