Abstract | In the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York City there is a woodcarving called a "Yipwon". It is from the remote north-east region of Papua New Guinea and was created by the Yiman people of the Korewori River Region. The Yipwon carvings look like a human skeleton in profile, showing evidence of ribs, heart, and head. The Yipwon figure, which balances on one foot, is kept as a talisman in the homes of the Yiman people and is said to host the Yipwon spirits. In this article, the author describes how her students created Yipwons using buff-colored shrink film as the medium. (Contains 1 online resource.) (ERIC). |
