Elduende - Home altars
Collaborative project with Muz Delarte (woodworker). Elduende means 'gnome wind' or 'wind of inspiration'. I'm always been fed by the unexplainable. Looking for the meaning of things this work is an investigation into rituals and faith. I grab back to an age where everything was still selfmade, a world of spirits and gods, magic and nature. With self-invented gods and mythical figures I take advantage of the strong visual elements that heat our collective memory for thousands of years.
