Hybrid is The tile of this series. Hybrid comes from the idea of merging cultural aesthetics , old and new systems of beliefs as well as the physical aspects of primitive and contemporary ways of working with clay, in this way I utilize 3-D clay prints in a metaphorical way in juxtaposition of hand built ceramic sculptures.
I also explore the idea of memory, and how we remember important characters in in American and Mexican cultures, here we have the deity vs the monument,
In the past statues, idols and monument served as representation, time markers and story holders, now we store and organize these Narratives a little differently in our minds, which takes me to explore the way we archive experiences in the 21st century.
