My work traverses various media involving paper and printing plates, such as photography, engraving, and books, especially small, handmade editions; and is rooted in the idea that everything emanates from a single source of light that expresses itself as entities with their own, unique vibration and on different planes that coexist with us, even though we cannot see them.
Water and chemistry, metaphors for unity, pulse, and matter transmutation, are the scenario for my work; traces and vestiges, the means to question and bear witness to impermanence and mystery, while the long exposures of my cameras are the ritual through which I conjure the souls of beings and places, as well as my own.
My artist’s books are part of prestigious art libraries and special collections: “Wak’a” at Harvard, The Fleet - Rhode Island School of Design, Baylor and Miami universities, which also owns “Caja Negra.” Yale and the University of Miami house “Despedimento,” while “Wiru” is part of the collection at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
