Selected Work

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 are used to designate specific tribes and regions.

​

Like the symbols below, I've borrowed ancient patterns and built them with images of wall paint from the cities I've explored. Underneath each primary pattern I've 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.

Grid

This is a minimalist expression of urban aesthetics observed along the course of my travels. The grid represents a standard archetype of Spanish Colonial cities. The blocks, their components. The wall art, its culture.

Political

Clearly, the streets of Latin America speak a language. Much of it, political and expected given the regions conquest, occupation and continutal economic repression.

​

Textile

​Naturally died textiles are an important component of the indigenous cultures in Latin America. I am reflecting the aesthetic by weaving patterns of wall paint into compositions of cloth.

Found

A collection of organic compositions from the streets of Latin America.
