Passing by an exuberant summer flower, I couldn´t resist thinking about asking her about her growth. Of course, it has no answer for me other than its vitality. While drawing as large a pencil drawing as possible that my arm could make, I asked the same question over and overa again. Why? Why make this repetition? The act of making mimics how life is generated. It is a process filled with wonder, yet at the same time, it is a reckless, purposeless and even precarious endeavor.
Dedicating yourself to the creation of an art work is similar. It is a pursuit because it offers from time to time, the wonderful experience of stumbling upon something that you haven´t seen manifested before. Yet, at the same time, it is a painful, purposeless even precarious process.
The works in this show have grown with me in the studio over time and I hope the audience can relate to them with their own sense of time and perhaps even find a biological or emotional connection with them.
