Artist's Comments

I saw these woman plastering a traditional hut. I was walking through Vokasenzela, Lesotho. They use mud as a plaster and then make a design on it using the sides of their hand like in the photograph. For more information about my Lesotho trip see the journal: [link]

And the rest of the photographs: [link]

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-06-13

I had read about traditional hut construction in my anthropology classes but never seen an actual picture of it. Tradional Construction by *funkyjunky fills that void in a very classical and ethnographic fashion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Quite an interesting piece and gives us some insight into the lives and cultures of other countries. I like the relief this technique gives to the structure with some nice texture! Excellent piece and congratulations on the DD! :D

I like this, but there's something about the way you have edited this that makes her look as if she has been cloned in, and this is two separate photographs.

Fantastic capture and the composition is great, but yes, maybe i'm just being a touch too critical.

That's some dedication to your art.

If you've ever installed siding on a house, or even done some framing or drywall, you know how hardcore ANYTHING regarding artistic ambitions at a house-sized scale can be.

Especially with mud and concrete. That stuff will dry your skin out like no other.

very interesting... I'll probably try that in my polymer work
