Please Don’t Step on My Culture / Por Favor no Pise mi Cultura
Yes, I have been busy with a job switch and MAKING ART!
Here are a few images of a street intervention I did for the Pilsen Open Studios Art Walk Oct 15 to 17th.
I really dislike the large disks that are cast with the Mexica image of the ‘Aztec Sun’. I have always seen it as disrespectful and wish they would be taken out.
Well….enjoy! I’ll post more images of other work soon
Por Favor No Pise Mi Cultura/ Please Don’t Step on My Culture
‘In Memorium’ lino print from early 90’s
Older piece of mine that I really like. It was a reduction print so the plate was changing every time I carved into it
Finally more images

Welcome to Your New Neighborhood
These house shapes are made from manila file folders cut and pasted together. I don’t remember how many were made for a show on gentrification at Polvo http://www.polvo.org/subaltern/tucasa.htm.
I think of Victor Jara and the song Casitas del Barrio Alto which I found a video on youtube (of course)
