Un Mundo Raro, 2020
Acrylic, mirrors, on wood
Dimensions variable
By intentionally shape shifting the periodic table of elements and through the calculated placement of circular mirrors positioned in an order where select elements are highlighted in reflective surfaces; Un Mundo Raro explores the elemental composition you and I share, our universal connection to each other and our relationship to the world we collectively inhabit. As well as how we see ourselves and others within and/or without it and the ways in which we continuously return to observational tools as a means to gain a deeper sense of understanding of all matter; even when at times, it is beyond our line of thought, sight, and vision.
Storm Clouds, 2014
Vertical blinds, spray paint, hose pipes
50 ’x 103’
Throughout history, one of the oldest games people have played entails the use of hands to manipulate string on and around fingers, in an attempt to create figures. It was believed that these string figures were an instrument in foretelling the future and that the forecast is often determined by who is pulling the strings. As you approach the pair of hands joined together by the string figure of storm clouds looming, the intention is to consider what the clouds hanging over ones head refer to and to bring awareness to states of existence, especially to those characterized by hardship and suffering.
