- Desert organisms and plant life on raw canvas
Created during a residency at Pólvora in Baja California, the Baja Series is embedded in the desert’s vast landscapes, ancestral cosmologies, and enduring Mesoamerican knowledge shaped by Mayan and Aztec traditions. Moving through the land and working in close attunement with its rhythms, I worked using materials drawn from the desert, including nopal and cochineal, substances carrying deep cultural and spiritual significance. In Mesoamerican culture, these materials are bound to ideas of sustenance, renewal, sacrifice, and cyclical time, woven into ritual practices and collective memory.
The series moves through spatial forms that recall thresholds and horizons, shaped by the desert’s scale and sense of duration. These compositions ask for a slower way of looking, opening moments of pause where perception softens and attention turns inward. The works hold space for reflection, allowing connections between land, time, and unseen forces to be felt rather than described.
Artwork Information
Each piece is created using natural materials, including plant dyes and earth-derived pigments. Works are made on raw cotton canvas using intuitive, process-led techniques such as soaking, staining, and pouring. These materials and methods result in subtle variations in tone and texture, giving each painting its own unique presence. All pieces are signed on the reverse and come with a certificate of authenticity.
Framing
All works are shipped unframed unless otherwise stated. This ensures safer and more cost-effective international delivery and allows you to choose framing that suits your space and style. However, if you would prefer the piece to arrive framed, this can be arranged on request. Please get in touch to discuss options and receive a custom quote.
