Justin Favela in New Britain Museum of American Art

 Fog canceled the flight back to Naples, so I booked a hotel and visited the NBMAA.


The Latin artist Justin Favela created a piñata-influenced mural in the museum's entry way.  Brilliant colors, tissue paper and cardboard are used to evoke images from Latin America in the museum's permanent collection. 

I was floored by the artist's patience in cutting and installing these small pieces of paper on a large scale.
