In early August of 2007, just over four years ago as this
catalog goes to press, a crowd of kids gathered in our home
in Mineral de Pozos, Guanajuato. We had put out the word
around town that we were planning to begin teaching
workshops in photography and studio art for the children
of Pozos. Our son Max, then ten years old, joined the crowd.
He stands out as the only blond in the group picture we took
of the kids that day [opposite page]. We were full of hope
and excitement for our project that day, though uncertain of
exactly how we would proceed or how we would be able to
afford the opportunities that we hoped to give the children.

Thanks to our founding sponsors, our project took off
immediately. A year later, we published our first catalog of art
from our workshops, and two museums – one in Mexico and
one in the United States – were featuring exhibitions of our
kids’ work.
In the summer of 2011, the Pozos Art Project, offered
workshops for the fourth consecutive year. We publish this
catalog, as we have each year, to celebrate and to preserve the
remarkable art that the children of Pozos continue to produce.
We are grateful to all of those who have generously supported
our project, including the local diocese of the Catholic church
in Pozos, which has granted us the use of the space that has
served as our art studio for the past three years. Donations,
including those given through Kickstarter.com, have allowed
us to provide participating children with quality art supplies,

En route to Xilitla, San Luis Potosí/En el camino a Xilitla, San Luis Potosí: Geoff Winningham, Hallie Jordan, Natalia Sánchez Ugalde, César Ariel Campos Bartolo, Janice Freeman, Max Winningham, Hilary Vanessa Becerro, Jennifer Posner, Brenda Manuela Campos Olvera, Christine Gwosdz, Ana Karen Campos Olvera, Fernanda Sánchez Ugalde, Juan Enrique Sánchez García.
On a cloudy afternoon in July, our group of twelve piled into two
vehicles and headed north from Pozos on a seven-hour journey through
the Huasteca region of Mexico. Our destination was the town of
Xilitla, located in the dense jungle that covers the mountain slopes in
the northeastern corner of the state of San Luis Potosí. Xilitla is not on
the way to anywhere else of much importance. There are no beaches
and no colonial architecture, so relatively few tourists put Xilitla their
itinerary. Only ninety miles (as the crow flies) separate Xilitla from
the Gulf of Mexico, yet driving there from the coast -- or from most
anywhere else -- can take a day or more, given the round about route
that is required to get there. Yet any drive to Xilitla is likely to offer
spectacular views, as the highway winds upward through dramatic
passes and isolated mountain villages.
Mountain slopes covered in dense foliage surround Xilitla. Springs
burst out of the hillsides, flowing down through rocky fields. Signs
along the highway point travelers toward waterfalls, mountain springs,
and scenic vistas. As we arrived, the rainy season had just begun, and
recent downpours had fed the rivers, creating torrents of water rushing
down the hillsides along the road.
Coffee and papaya are the products for which Xilitla is best known,
but most of those who travel the winding mountain roads come to
visit Xilitla’s one truly unique attraction: the fantasy gardens known
as Las Pozas. Built in the 1960’s and 70’s by the wealthy, eccentric
Englishman Edward James, Las Pozas has been described as his
“Surrealist Xanadu.” The natural centerpiece of his creation is the
river itself, which streams through the park, dropping in a series of
waterfalls, each forming a pool at its base; hence, Las Pozas, “the
pools”. James spent millions of dollars and employed hundreds
of masons, artisans, and local craftsmen to construct his whimsical
concrete sculptures in the jungle, all connected by a labyrinth of
pathways covering over twenty acres. On our first days in Xilitla, the
river roared through Las Pozas with such force and fury that we could
only approach it with great caution.
Our home base was Casa Caracol, a cluster of teepees and bungalows
with a dated but charming atmosphere, set along the river at the
edge of Las Pozas. For seven days, we went out each day to explore,
photograph, draw, and paint all around Xilitla. We swam in the rivers,
and we ventured through deep, dark, watery caves. We explored every
corner of Las Pozas. We photographed the bustling streets of the town,
and we ventured high into the mountains above Xilitla to witness a
million swallows flying out of their cavernous home. In all, we found
Xilitla and its environs to be yet another truly magical part of this
continually amazing country.
