Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe

Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe, born 1971 in Sheroana, Amazonas, VE. He relies on the memories of his mother and relatives to explore the nature of spiritual beliefs and the cultural and social practices of his Yanomami community, the Pori Pori. A graphic compendium of straight, parallel, curved, and dotted lines, arcs, circles, triangles, grids, webs, and rings evokes the insects, animals, and spirits of the Upper Orinoco—as with the red caterpillar, which is called upon in the present drawing.
