All Huichol art tends to depict the mythology of their history. The thread you can find throughout most pieces tell the story of their Gods and legends. Their sacred lands and animals. You'll find blazing suns, a rising phoenix, peyote and deer. They're very graphic and simple, yet complicated. Otillia evokes these stories with her hands, pushing each inch of yarn down onto a slab of wood, using honey as the adhesive agent. These fantastical images are just that, wood, honey and yarn. The images are laid out in her head, mathematically. She knows where she'll end up and with what color, from where she started. Genius, I tell you. It's painstaking work, like any good art is. One large scale painting in our boutique can take about a month to make.
