C e r a m i c S c u l p t u r e
I am intrigued by the mystery of meaning that I find in
ancient art, much of it in ruins, found in Mexico or anywhere
else in the world. In my art I attempt to capture that
mystery, that “eternal presence” of ancient art forms, which
elicit particular emotions in me that may be universal and
timeless. My intention is to create art forms that bring the
eternal presence of the past to the present, to inspire
reflection on contemporary time and place.
My work is evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
Although my work takes different forms --from small table-
top constructions to tall columns to large wall hangings-- my
interests remain a constant. The catalyst that propels my
work to take numerous forms is my desire to explore my
primary medium, clay, in varied and technically challenging
formats. My use of organic and geometric motifs is rooted
in my belief that these forms represent are a universal
language that is both universal and timeless, linking the past
and the future and cutting across cultures.
