Artist Statement:
Investigating themes of
humanity and human nature ...
is what my pieces are a
reflection of--an imprint...a
memoir and a motive for
reflection about my life and
times.
The presence and absence of
objects (bullets, knives,
teeth) play an important part
in 'rememberance' and the act
of 'provoking thought'.
Being in the presence of an
object we know is used to
wound, to the print marking
the obvious absence of the
same- leaves one with thoughts
of our own certain reality:
our every day knowledge of the
violence around me directly
and/or indirectly. Iraq,
Lebanon, Palestine, Israel,
Ciudad Juarez- from my Mexico
, My new home: Washington DC
(this summer 2006--- 15+
murders.. and counting).
Realities can also be simple
as they surround me. My
constant fascination with the
beauty of insects and other
found objects leads me to
memorialize them on my
canvases (btw: I only keep
them when dead).
In Mexico it was scorpions....
now in the Washington DC area,
I am turning to wasps and
cicadas.
