'Two by Two' by Mario Lautier Vella
Influenced by Mexican dances about fearsome man-eating jaguars, In
Pre-Colombian traditions these dances had the purpose of petitioning the jaguar god, the lord of all animals, so that he would permit successful hunting for the villagers.
My main intention of this piece was to give new life to a discarded object.
I collected shoes from several charity shops, disassembled the structures and worked each one down to the exterior materials. I used the canvas as a base to illustrate the mask of the mexican jaguar God. I wanted to convey a narrative through my piece as the shoes I picked up all have a story of their own.
