Mexican Visions in Clay: The Sacred, Secular, and Fantastical

Sacred, fantastical, and secular themes are all present within this St. Edward’s Fine Arts Gallery. The gallery showcases figures meant to represent folk tales. These pieces are also designed to evoke a sense of freedom as well as primitive aspects of superstition and make-believe.

Most of these pieces are derived from Mexican culture. While at the exhibit I noticed that these pieces incorporated the essence of Aztec influences ranging from sculptures to paintings. I believe the main idea here is to highlight folk art that captures the interpretations of various religions, events, and common values.
