MEXICO

1. My mom

My mom is Mexico. She was born and raised in Chamacuaro Guanajuato, and I feel like I am in Mexico everytime I visit her. Her warm heart, history, house, great food, and wonderful laugh represents Mexico.

2. Recorded History

It took many years to create Mexico and it will take many more to get it back to what it used to be. There are many recorded stories of Mexico's history that I want to know about.

3. Sueño de una tarde dominical en la alameda - Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera is one of the first artists in America that was able to show everyone the wonderful images of Mexico's past. His murals tell stories of the life of Mexico and have influenced many other artists to do the same. This mural is one of my favorites because it places many of Mexico's founding fathers, workers, people, wealthy, and hints at death and Aztec Gods. Mexico can not be explained in five images but this is one that helps explain it's people.

4. MMMMMMMmmmmmMEXICOooo.......

I love me some mexican food!

5. Chavelas

One thing that I love more than mexican food is mexican beer, and when you combine the two I am a happy camper.

(Mexico can not be represented by images)

5 images that paint a picture of me...

1. "El Ojo De Dios"

The eye that never sleeps. I dont get enough sleep but one day I will. This piece is very powerful and reflects balance and harmony. It would be something that I would allow to be tattooed onto my skin. The aztec accents in the background reminds me that the images of my ancestors easily blend with the geometry of this world. I will incorporate this style into motifs on buildings that I will hopefully sculpt/build


2. "La Mano De Dios"

"The Hand of God" is a piece I created after my good friend and his wife past. The picture was taken after a pause away from drawing it. I got an idea of having a hand slam down from heaven and needed to come up with what a hand looks like and took a photo of my own hand and then printed it and placed on the drawing to have a good idea on what I wanted it to look like. The hand from the sky is not taking from earth but is slamming energy into the sky. It was and assignment for one of my Architecture courses that required a self potrait. (I am the tree)

3. "Dia De Los Muertos"

"La chanclada" I love music and dance. Rythm is one of the many gifts that we have and I like to share my good times with anyone. Outdoor events mixed with music is where I want to be. I also appreciate how music is becoming a larger part of America again. Mp3s, Palladia, Music Festival, and the internet, is allowing music to be born again.

4. The King Of Reggae

"Bob" has influenced my life and my soul. Good messages in music is what I like to hear and he and his producers have ultimately made it sound awesome. There and many other bands that I adore but Bob is a person that everyone can recognize.

4. Better World

"What can I do for my earth" Life would have ment nothing to me if I did not try to improve it somehow. We need to design for the future and learn from our ancestors. The world is evolving and I would like to be part of the group that sees the future and plans for it.
