pexiglass and print

The ¨plexis¨are a series of assemblages that emerged from a printer running out of ink, scrap plexiglass and other small waste office supplies.

Explorations with printmaking

An image that emerged from the visua exploration of popcorn shapes was synthesized to produce a clean image for printmaking. This etching was done in plexiglass which only made possible to produce around 15 prints. Except for the first print, aptly named ¨primogénito¨, the first born, the rest are hand colored. In the last one the red background is cut out paper applied during the process of printing.

"Ala" (wing)

This series emerged after the MFA thesis exhibition as a compositional exploration with "animals" and stitching over solid color textiles with a minimalistic sense.
