A shift away from abstraction and serial work towards representational iconography with these paintings on canvas. The body as bridge. Soma as prayer. I am nature. The eagle and snake transformed not through a frozen moment of struggle but in an ancient transcendence of being. A time where Quetzcoatl became our symbol of metanoia and hope. "Papi, me voy a morir" La Victoria, 5/14/2003. No Mas Muerte! A searching reflex for direction and finding it in ancient roots. The painter's ground resonant in my history. A return to a decalic process with embedments and a greater freedom in expression.
