Tale of Two Birds

Title: Tale of Two Birds Size: 50″w X80″ h Woodblock print Medium: Ink on Muslin Year: 2013 “A Tale of Two Birds” is a work, which deals with the fertility of conflict. Male bravado, ballads of vengeance, familial ties, and the desire to survive are the seeds sown into the ground of such conflict. For some, it is a foreign problem while for others it is a personal story of two birds, two cities, two countries, two “paisanos” being weighed down by a bigger than life struggle. This is a struggle to escape and appeal to the heavens for refuge and guidance. Amidst this struggle there is a world in which even death seeks sanctuary.

Make Me Perfect

Linocut print Size: Year:

I am a self-trained printmaker who has worked with this medium for over 20 years. Printmaking is an integral part of my work. When crafting a woodblock, my lines follow the contours of my subjects, paying homage to the traditions of master engravers. In doing so, I view my prints as my shouting voice, while the drawings – the templates – are my whispering voice. Occasionally, I work on a monumental scale to present my narratives; some blocks are hand carved and may require months to complete. Once printed, each run yields a limited edition.
