I am preparing for a Dia de los Muertos show in Dallas. The curators have encouraged artists to maintain their aesthetic approach and create something non traditional.
I've decided to portray a dead machine. I began to seek out machines no longer in use; machines used only by people who are now dead. It's difficult to find them.
The nice thing about loving machinery is that people send me pictures when they find a machine they like. On facebook, I am tagged in a photo of a backflow prevention device. A few months ago, Gabriela Knutson sent me a portable engine in a ghost town she was passing through.
