GRAINS OF SAND

​

On the creaking floor of the gallery, *Circumbalacion*, an installation by Edgardo Navarro, is a sand painting created with the very pigments of the desert from his native region, San Luis Potosi, northwest of Mexico City. While staying with the Huichol Indians, the artist learned to gather the colors of the earth and use them, "to paint the mountains with the mountains."

​

He weaves a connection between Western art and the imagination of this people, their visions (*nierika*), "kinds of openings to another world." With its flashes of lightning and cloud-trees, his installation, an ephemeral circle around a land plagued by drought for over fifteen years, opens a passage to rain and healing.
