Museum Works; Papalote@Cuernavaca_01

I am currently working at the Museo Papalote Cuernavaca. Its been over a year since i began working there.

“Chinese Dragon”

This is a bull/dragon for the Chinese year of 2009. the project was done in 3 weeks. it danced for over two months. I designed, constructed and painted both parts by my own, as seen on the picture. When it began to dance and kids started to play with it the whole team was called to repair it. In the end the dragon changed alot.

The head’s made out of some paper mache, wood sticks for the horns, a big big box as a body structure, and acrylic paint on the top. It took almost the three weeks to complete.

 

 

 

Its size is around 1 meter wide (without horns, each one was around 50-70 cm long) x 1.70 long.

The body changed between acts, the basic structure was Hula Hoops, plastic and lots of crepe paper. Almost three meters long.

I had alot of thinking before i started it. it took two days to complete.

in the End i couldn’t took a picture of how it ended. it looked so different.
