CANNAVO_M TRIBAL DOLLS
|
 |
|
These tiny images are created using natural fibers and found objects incorporating articles of spiritual or personal significance. These dolls are not intended to represent any particular tribe but rather combine elements from various sources. I try not to mix continents but if the creative 'spirits' speak I Iisten and don't question the results.
