UWM Hybrid Heroes
Title: Alebrije
Medium:Cardboard, glue
Size: Head piece-10 x 9 x 10.5 Belt-
Exhibition text: My intentions with this artwork were to represent a hybrid hero I would like to transform into. The inspiration behind this work came from my culture and how this figure is represented in Mexico. I was also inspired by the artists Manuel Jimenez Ramirez and Oliver Bertrand. I used Jimenez's pattern technique and simplicity behind his alebrijes and Bertrand's shape and space to create a good structure that would make my alebrije costume realistic and geometric.
