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 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.

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

The streets of Latin America speak a language.  It is unfiltered, emotional and often times political given its history of 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 that are emblematic of the city they were capatured.

Found

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