WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY HOME

Solo Exhibition: _Desbordando_, Casa Estrugamou, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
  
  
Life is a series of lines, entanglements, alliances, networks or kinships and their underlying mechanisms. Global networks and mobility within social, political and economic structures, above all, give rise to changing patterns and practices of life, which are renewed and extended, in turn, to cultivate new conventions. A configuration whose strength continually assumes a new form due to the changing relationships of its constituents.

  
​The embroidery refers to a topographic map, which throughout the exhibition is unraveled to become a new form due to the action and reaction of time and space, responding to contemporary political and social conditions. 

  

TOPOGRAPHIES OF THE FUTURE I

WRECKED HOMES

TOO MANY THINGS IN BETWEEN, BUT I AM SURE WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH

"This world that we have around us is not a world that we receive but more a world that we create and make. Now, this seems a bit of a surprise because we really feel and we are very much attached to the fact that we are receiving these perceptions as opposed to creating them. But we do create the reality in which we live." \~ James Turrell

  
(This is a very large piece: ten feet wide by four feet tall)

Diptych of two canvas that comes apart at the center of the painting.

Each canvas is 4 feet tall x 5 feet long x 2 inches in profile.

This painting addresses human struggles with technology and modern communications. Symbolic geometry reconnects the self and the battle that stands between true identity and the person that society and convention demand. We cannot escape the static and technology interrupting our favorite song, but we can keep trying to tune into the station in spite of images projected onto our psyche.

I'LL MEET YOU HALF WAY

The embroidery is a metaphor of water, which throughout the exhibition begins to disappear, in reference to the deep experience of loss of the Thalheim population.

TOPOGRAPHIES OF THE FUTURE II

Group Exhibition: _Slow Moves_, Teufelsberg, Berlin, Germany.
  
  
In Las Parcas, a spindle rotates with a uniform movement and causes the unraveling of three embroidered canvases, indicating a kind of automatism in the planetary system: the law of perpetual return.

  
Las Parcas represents the irreducible character of destiny: time and life turn and mercilessly unravel. The double aspect of life manifests itself: the necessity of movement, from birth to death, reveals the contingency of beings, and leaves in its path the traces of what once was.

  

LAS PARCAS

In our post-digital culture, we no longer use the telephone to make a voice call but prefer texting and direct messaging. The connections through technology are immediate yet subject to interpretation. Double meanings emerge from missing punctuation and tone.

"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity." — Albert Einstein

After Life

I created this skull as a prototype for my "After Life" painting. This is a 3D print produced by Solid Concepts in Valencia, CA, using the digital file I created in Maya 3D software. It is solid plastic SLS Nylon material and weighs close to that of a small bowling ball ~ 9 pounds, so it is quite a solid piece. I finished it with an undercoat of Montana Gold Shock Pink Light and then my favorite oil paint, Luminous Opera Pink Aqua Oil, and sealed it with varnish.

This piece is about the fractured nature of communications in a post-technological age.

"Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story. (from 'Instructions')" — Neil Gaiman (Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders)
