Believe it or not, this project was for a local dentist. She relocated to Asheville from New Orleans. She wanted a look that shouted elegant simplicity.

RACK CARD | Huichol Art Project
..................................................................................
In the rugged Sierra Madre of Mexico, the Huichol people are living as they have for thousands of generations: in communion with this sacred fire. Meanwhile, the lives of our people have moved in another direction – into coldness, doubt, fear and alienation. Amidst our impressive possessions, as we congratulate ourselves on our “evolution”, there is a disturbing emptiness, a yearning for something long forgotten. We no longer remember the fire our distant ancestors knew so well, and the Huichol people still know.

As a small repayment of our debt of gratitude to the Huichol people, the Blue Deer Center founded the Huichol Art Project to create U.S. markets for their artwork. This non-profit enterprise enables many Huichol families to remain in their homeland maintaining their lifeways, rather than migrating to the lowlands to be exploited in factories and tobacco plantations.
