Green Jicuri Flower Handmade Hand Beaded Huichol Papier Mache Mask

Higinio Hernandez Carrillo

(20)

With a patience characteristic of the Huichol people, the hands of Higinio Hernandez transform tiny "chaquira" beads into beautiful and glossy motifs adhered to a papier-maché base. The result is a veritable explosion of color, replete with symbols sacred to the Huichol culture. A must for lovers of the truly rich culture of Mexico.

Huichol culture is guided by pre-Columbian shamanic traditions linked to ceremonies performed in their storied past. The "Jicuri" (peyote) is the centerpiece of Huichol ritualism, revered for its curative properties and its ability to enlighten the one who partakes of it. Other essential Huichol symbols like "jicuri" (peyote), "marra" (deer), "berika" (eagle) and "iko" (corn) and "warra" (corn stalk) are also represented in Huichol artwork. For these pieces, each brilliant bead is affixed by hand to a unisel base, the resulting symmetry defying standards of patience and concentration.

Care instructions: To prevent the tiny chaquira beads from coming loose, do not expose this piece to direct heat or light as it may melt the Campeche beeswax adhesive.

Candle Life Handmade Mexico Huichol Candle Beadwork Nierika Art

Kupihaute

(3)

Formed of three blue peyote buds, a lighted candle is radiant in this exquisite nierika, or votive beadwork painting by Kupihaute. A butterfly alights on either side in his composition, which takes the shape of a flower with five wide petals.

The artisan, who writes fluently in the Huichol, Nahuatl, Spanish and English languages, talks about this work in his own words. "The nierika is a mirror that is offered to the sea together with the first corn that has been harvested, in order to renew the cycle of rains that will give life to the next crop cycle. As in most of the ancient cultures of our planet, the candle represents our trajectory between being born and returning. For this reason, even today, during the celebration of our birthday, it is customary to light and blow out as many candles as solar cycles have elapsed. The butterflies and spirals are indicating that existence is energy in permanent transformation between arising from and returning to earth."

The intricate images are formed with tiny seed beads. Kupihuate patiently places them one at a time with a needle made of abalone shell onto a huanacaxtle wood backing. Beeswax is used instead of glue.

The process is totally spontaneous, with no previous sketch or design. It is guided by the artist's unconscious to tell the stories that remain in our collective ancestral memory. He signs his work with the symbol of a butterfly on the reverse side of the nierika.

eARThiness Handmade Mexico Huichol Nierika Rabbit Deer Beadwork

Kupihaute

(3)

White rabbits chase glowing orange deer around an exquisite nierika, or votive beadwork composition by Kupihaute, which takes the shape of a flower with five wide petals.

The artisan, who writes fluently in the Huichol, Nahuatl, Spanish and English languages, talks about this work in his own words. "This nierika/mirror represents the duality of our existence. The rabbit symbolizes the permanent movement of earthiness reflected in the lunar mirror. The deer is the spirit that animates the movement of our wise memory, marking the spiral path of our ancestral cultures in permanent transformation and adaptation around the peyote-maize." The artist has created the word "eARThiness" to emphasize the word "art" found inside "earth." "For me, this eARThiness is very important and meaningful."

The intricate images are formed with tiny seed beads. Kupihuate patiently places them one at a time with a needle made of abalone shell onto a huanacaxtle wood backing. Beeswax is used instead of glue.

Maize Peyote Duality Handmade Mexico Huichol Nierika Peyute & Corn Beadwork

Kupihaute

(3)

Green stalks of corn reach skyward to cradle a radiant peyote bud in this elegant nierika, or votive beadwork "painting" by Kupihaute. A butterfly alights on either side in his composition, which takes the shape of a flower with five wide petals.

The artisan, who writes fluently in the Huichol, Nahuatl, Spanish and English languages, talks about this work in his own words. "The duality of maize-peyote is the basic duality of the nierika/mirror, since one is the reflection of the other and one cannot be more different from the other. The maize cannot disseminate its own seeds without our maneuver, and naturally depends on water. The peyote is a cactus that disseminates its own seed byway of the natural elements, and nevertheless, the creation of the maize plant is just impossible without the peyote cactus.

"The maize plant was developed genetically by the Wixarika/Huichol people thousands years ago from a kind of grass called teozintle in the Mexika language, precisely because of the wisdom provided by the peyote cactus. And also, thanks to the peyote cactus, the cultivation of corn was kept in our genetic memory despite its cultivation having been prohibited for many years during the colonization of Mexico. Also, virtually every story and myth about corn attributes energy and fertility to it and describes the plant as a reciprocating relative who nurtures us in return for us nourishing it. Nowadays the maize is the basic food, giving energy to the people all over the eARTh." The artist has created the word "eARThiness" to emphasize the word "art" found inside "earth." "For me, this eARThiness is very important and meaningful."

The intricate images are formed with tiny seed beads. Kupihuate patiently places them one at a time with a needle made of abalone shell onto a huanacaxtle wood backing. Beeswax is used instead of glue.

Gorgeous

I love this piece. It's beautiful and I can't wait to hang it in my living room. I may want to order a different piece from this artist because I love the work. A note: it also doesn't weigh much so I'm not concerned about hanging it on my wall.

Wow - Just WOW!

What incredible detail! This is so beautiful and the beadwork is PERFECT. There's not a crooked bead anywhere - the quality and artisanship are phenomenal! I can't find a signature anywhere but he definitely should - it is my first of many to purchase! I have really enjoyed learning about the Huijol people and customs!
