Carve out time to spend here
Keshi, The Zuni Connection的点评
点评:Over a decade ago, while on a visit to Santa Fe, my wife bought a Zuni-crafted fetish for me. It is one of my most prized and sacred possessions. So obviously on our trip to Santa Fe being able finally to visit Keshi myself was a must-do highlight. This small shop features authentic work by Zuni artisans. The owner knows the spiritual meaning behind each object as she straddles worlds beautifully. One of the sensations I have in Santa Fe is of it being overwhelmed by galleries. Which is authentic art? Keshi straddles the space between being a gallery, a museum, and a sacred space. My advice to you is to trust this review that Keshi is about authenticity and caring for its Zuni artists. (This I got to experience personally.) This small building even stands apart from the row after row of galleries and trinket shops. Enter and ask questions. Read each of the Power Animal descriptions and absorb their different interpretations, knowing that each is WAY more than just a piece of carved stone or wood meant to stand on a shelf at home. Carve out time to spend here...and your budget, as you will leave with something powerful you are guaranteed is authentic.
翻译:十多年前,我去圣达菲旅行时,妻子给我买了一件祖尼族工匠制作的护身符。它是我最珍贵、最神圣的物品之一。所以,这次圣达菲之旅,能亲自去Keshi参观,自然成了此行的一大亮点。这家小店出售祖尼族工匠的真品。店主深谙每件物品背后的精神意义,巧妙地融合了不同的文化。圣达菲的画廊之多,让我感到有些不知所措。究竟哪一件才是真正的艺术呢?Keshi介于画廊、博物馆和神圣空间之间。我的建议是,相信我的评价,Keshi注重的是作品的真实性和对祖尼族艺术家的关怀。(这一点我亲身体验过。)即使在熙熙攘攘的画廊和小饰品店中,这座小建筑也显得格外独特。进去看看,问问你的问题吧。请仔细阅读每件图腾动物的描述,并理解它们各自的解读。要知道,它们绝不仅仅是摆放在家中架子上的一块雕刻石头或木头。请预留出时间来这里……也请预留出您的预算,因为您将带走一件充满力量且保证真品的物品。
