With the series Adventures in amate Sergio López Orozco tries, with varying resources, return to paper-made objects, qualities or propitiatory votive, not in relation to a preset ritual matter but made ??with poetic tension. The raw material has no expression whatsoever, it is necessary to transfigure it through the invention. In the effort, the soul leaves its mark and obtained relates, unintentionally, with the most remote and unfathomable origins of a tradition as old and established as the use of paper cutouts of bark for healing ceremonies or witchcraft. This custom originated in ancient times and continues to the present, when the paper made ??from amate bark has become popular as a support for paint, coatings and other decorative or artistic uses. The ritual to drive away evils of body and spirit with a large ring of woven paper cut deities is not practiced anywhere. The shaman or shaman must officiate in caves or places consecrated to the case household organized around a central bracero purifying fire.
