About The Work
Architecturally resonant, photographic fragments I shoot of my paintings in the studio process are the raw material for the codex multiples. Entrada evokes an entrance, and also the colonial overtaking of the Americas, especially when paired with “codex”, or pictorial notation of shared, grassroots, possibly secret histories and systems. The print image builds from a basis of a single shot of a large-scale watercolor, saturated in aqua, sunny yellows, and scarlet. Colors recall macaws in clusters, rustling and nesting in the forest shade. On either side, like guardians of a portal, messages of lizards bask in the sun.
