Pattern
Geometric shapes and repetition of pattern are common themes within indigenous designs. Often, they represent geographic direction, calendar time and/or elements of the non-material world. Others were used to designate specific tribes and regions.
Like the symbols below, I am borrowing ancient patterns and built them with images of wall paint from the cities I've explored. Underneath each primary pattern I have incorporated complimentary or contrasting components of street art to enhance the complexity of each piece.

Symbol
The circular form is ideal for telling visual stories representing a sequence of events through time. It's an element that appears often within the indigenous art work of Latin America. I have created a modern adaptation of these symbols by integrating the colors and textures of captured wall paint with regional wall art representing a unique aesthetic or an important cultural statement.
