VOODOU TEMPLE

Primary tabs

Simple metal temple with designed roof. Fenced in on sides and back, with various figures inside. Two front figures are in profile, kneeling down towards a stick or sphere in the middle of the temple or ground. While most metal sculptors in Haiti have traditionally created works which are primarily two-dimensional in form, some artists have employed welding, riveting, bending and assemblage to create three-dimensional sculpture.
