tierra de mi madre / reboot!!

- some of the earlier snippets of " tierra de mi madre" are now officially memories. Gone are the ink marks and rock-texture formation.

-However, Tierra de mi Madre still prevails: the title at least. What will become of those 3 canvases, you ask? Well, well-now now, be patient...I think I want to continue to paint that volcanic landscape, you know, la laguna de Alegria? I've grown quite fond of it, and feel strong in working with that space just a little bit longer...

-but this time I plan to utilize some "architectural" techniques for the composition of each panel, creating a body that examines the spatial qualities of that specific landmark.

-there's another long canvas sheet that I plan on using for another volcano landscape. this one however, may be a little active, and maybe a little more toxic. who knows. I don't know. I haven't even moved beyond the sketchbook.

good night.

what am I really up to these days?

besides botanizing on the asphalt?

who has pictures of the great North?

or even the Patagonia South?

I am looking before I travel

[of | to] a place with iced amalgamations-

and territories so cold

you cough snowflakes !

the ideas are incubating: 

I'm scheming up a new series

a new body of white blue in large format

for now: please enjoy someone else's tumblr:

Racing with the Sun

Mama Babushka / Landschaft

La Tierra de mi Madre / Madre de la Tierra 

marshland maze

cross section labyrinth

most likely inspired by the 

myth of the minotaur

and or macchu picchu 

rolling into june

sketch marks

a space to ease the strain 

new strokes branding lines

same kind of brush

dolostone bridges

a curious craving for geology

has me looking for alternatives

odyssey

20 minute marathon[s]

firebird nest

sketches from a car ride

2minute drawings

6"x6" cuts of old florida maps

diagramming fictional landscapes 

over the existing ones
***

an exercise that attempts to
collage dream and reality

volunteering possibilities with landscape

and the nostalgic desire to leave one land

in favor for the complete opposite

drawing dreams
