“In my work I seek to recover the folklore of the Andean people,” says Peruvian artisan Ronald Franco. She does so with this delicate cedar wood cross to display on the wall.

In Thailand, devas are beings of exquisite grace and beauty who live in the heaven of sensuous pleasure. They often visit earth to help and protect humanity, or to bring messages from the gods. Using only hand tools, Tay Nontawat sculpts this panel of prized teak wood and the finished piece is dried in the sun. Nontawat then adds subtle color and protects it with a coat of lacquer.
