Persephone in Hades  - This figure is approximagely 5 feet tall. It is constructed of Papier-mâché, fabric, wood, found objects. I started the figure in New York City and over a period of about 5 years I kept adding on to it. After I moved to San Miguel de Allende in 2006 I added the plastic insects found in the Tuesday Market. I also constructed a large nicho to house the figure. The nicho is covered with an old crocheted bed spread which I dyed and stiffened with glue.
