My current body of work dealing with globalization issues and invisble narratives. The interesting thing of this series is the usage of bubblewrap and other transparent material as a prinicipal medium. (photo credits: Todd De Hays and Miguel Cortez)
I worked with paper that is traditionally made from smashing boiled bark fibers in Mexico. The
indigenous cultures of Mexico historically have
made accordion books, religious art, and collages
with amate paper. My inspiration comes from
pre-colombian art, artisan work, and pop culture.
