Among the numerous projects represented are very contemporary forms, as well as objects inspired by folk art and works by indigenous peoples. A sculptural stack of containers provides a fitting contrast to a primitive-style varnished bowl. Different base forms support round-bottomed vessels, and animal figures should delight children.

Columbia and London: Villegas Editores, 2000. This is a book to understand Colombian life through its most characteristic crafts objects, including all sorts of utensils for daily use, to work, rest or simply admire; and artefacts to be amazed by the natural beauty produced by the hands of able crafts people who turn metal, clay, stone and fibres into objects that transcend shape and become masterpieces. It includes everything, from common tools to ritual clothes, in an infinite array of textures, colours and unsuspected materials that enrich the wealth of the Colombian typical objects sample. This is the reflection of the youth and joy of Colombian people. They have found in their objects a new way of conveying their colourful character and of giving the task of creating hats, chairs, lamps, hammocks, among many others, the charming touch that runs through the country's veins. The result of a three-year collaboration between photographer Nacho Mar-n and publisher Benjam-n Villegas, this remarkable volume sets out to display traditional garments, jewellery, and ornaments of the indigenous cultures of Colombia in joyous and unprecedented abandon. Using his experience as a choreographer and costume and set designer, Mar-n has created an extraordinary series of theatrical tableaux where myth and memory, fashion and fantasy intermingle in a riot of rich colour. 240pp.N.B.Small dent to left hand edge of front d/j cover..
