Artist's Statement:
Essentially digital photo montage', my work reflects proto-
Christian, pre-Columbian and native American concerns about death,
rebirth and the spirit world. Also, as reflected in the Mexican
popular graphic arts tradition of satirizing the living in terms
of the dead, death is a mirror that reflects the vanity of the
living. Modern death is merely one more fact in a world of facts,
but a very disagreeable one. It is no longer an access to another
life more alive than our own; it is not viewed as a transcendence;
death is a word that is bitter on the lips. Nevertheless, death,
rebirth (and the possibility of a world of spirits) seduces and
facinates us. Life and death are two sides of a single reality
and are references to invisible realities.
