About the Item

Artist Commentary: During the COVID-19 pandemic I decided to collect boxes from around my neighborhood and repurpose the cardboard material. By utilizing materials that would otherwise have been discarded, I'm contributing to making less waste and able to explore new means of addressing our ultra-consumerist ways. This piece will always remind me of what we lived through while in pandemic isolation. Keywords: abstract, urban, gestural, sculptural Artist Biography: I was born in Mexico City in 1957 and moved to Los Angeles in 1984. I'm told that when I was just born and laying in one of those bassinets in the hospital, my paternal grandparents came to see me and while looking through the window into the baby ward, my grandfather said to my dad: ""give him a pen, he wants to write."" In a way, my grandfather was right. I needed a pen indeed, but not really to write, but to draw. One of my earliest memories of connecting with the art world (around age four or five) is sitting in a corner in my mom's art class with a bunch of colored chalk just scribbling away. From then on, I traded the chalk for anything that could make a mark on a surface. I have filled scrapbooks with notes and ideas, have studied art history, and relish every opportunity to see and learn what other artists are doing. As a teenager I started taking photographs and used them as inspiration for drawings, paintings, and mixed media works. For the last 50 years I have dedicated myself to a process of exploration and discovery, and it has been an enriching and rewarding experience.
