The 'Tabla' series was made in the 1970s, a period when Eduardo Terrazas was interested in integrating pre-Hispanic indigenous crafts, Mexican popular culture and contemporary theories of art.
The works employ a Huichol yarn-painting technique, in which coloured wool is applied to wood panels covered with Campeche wax, to create compositions influenced by abstract painting, architecture and design. Terrazas’s forms present a geometric conceptualisation of the world, but in their intense colours, they reflect culture as a daily pulse of space and sensuality.
