Pattern
Geometric shapes and repetition of pattern are common themes within indigenous designs. Typically, they represent geographic direction, calendar time and/or elements of the non-material world. Others were used to designate specific tribes and regions.
Much of my early was influenced by these ancient patterns which I contructed with images of wall paint from the cities I have explored. Underneath each primary pattern I have incorporated complimentary or contrasting components of street art to enhance the complexity of each piece.
Nest
As my collection of images grew through continued travel, I was motivated to develop a greater level of complexity within each piece. My first attempt was focused around the concept of building layers of constructed patterns on top of primary images. The net result is reminiscent of a nest exhibiting three dimensional qualities-especially went printed at scale.

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.
