In Aztec mythology, Xochipilli is the patron of music, dance, and creative ecstasy. He is depicted covered in sacred plants and flowers that unlocked the creative spirit. Within Xochipilli's domain, there is no boundary; art and nature are the same thing. This diptych is an homage to that absence of distinction. Each one is a musical instrument, but also a mosic of a garden. It hints at a realm where the vibrant scenery of nature and the sound of music become indistinguishable. It is a tribute to the "Flowery Song" - the ancient belief that true creativity is a living, blooming entity that envelopes both the instrument and the artist. This 3/4-scale acoustic guitar sculpture was assembled from hundreds of bits and pieces of retired necklace chains and jewelry. The flowers are all hand-painted and the piece is finished with a UV protective clear coat. Available in two sizes.
