Artist statement

What is your favorite color? What is your favorite ice cream flavor? What is your favorite type of music? Transcendental and complex questions like that are constantly being asked through all our existence.
Favorite, two of my favorite things are objects and words. Objects; as a material thing, objects of content, object as a purpose. An object is something more immediate, what works for me might not work for you. Words and objects travel so far depending on how well we know how to use them, if we don’t know the meaning or the purpose, if we don’t have a dictionary or have the instructions we generally put them aside. Whereas I like to take those words, phrases, and sentences and turn them around, ask and wonder why do we use them as much? Sometimes while reading a book a word jumps and then I can’t go further because an instant visual image appears in my mind, in that same way while I see an object or while using one, I come up with another way to utilize it and that is when I start developing it until I can’t think of anything else.

I have always enjoyed how things look through different levels of focus, through a microscope, through a colored filter, even not having a 20/20 vision is a tool for me, when I see things from far I always think it is something else, until I come closely. Finding what I saw at a first glance sometimes seems more interesting or more fun than what it really is. It is through translation both as meaning and in shape and appearance that I find myself constantly working
