Celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth with "Árbol de la Vida." Mexican artist Margarita Cabrera created this life-size clay replica of a John Deere tractor and embellished it with traditional elements of "Árbol de la Vida” (Tree of Life). Cabrera's work points to sociopolitical inequities while paying homage to and preserving this particular Mexican craft. #mfah #sculpture #mexicanart #claysculpture __ Margarita Cabrera, "Árbol de la Vida - John Deere Tractor Model #790,” 2007, clay, slip paint, latex acrylic and metal hardware.
