"Artist Roberto Benavidez takes a sculptural approach to the piñata, making work inspired by Hieronymus Bosch and medieval illuminated manuscripts."

His response to a default-heterosexual world? All of his birds are gay. Same sex couplings and gynandromorphs that display their mutation where one side looks male and the other female.

Paper Pots - Roberto Benavidez

“Illuminated Hybrid No. 2,” by Roberto Benavidez is one of a series of 50 piñatas that are on display as part of an exhibition at the Craft of America that explores the cultural import of, well, piñatas, those handmade, festive, ephemeral objects that are filled with candy.
