In 1988 I began to work on the themes of life, I called them Retablos when the images were enclosed by a protective box and frame; when they fell away in many instances they became integrated with the wall and some stood on their own. When I arrived to Mallorca I began using glass as a lighter, but they seemed too cold. The Return to the Garden depicted the young trees I planted, and represented a return to lasting images and values. The most recent works in clay are from the exbibition Ecdysis, the molting of skins, lives; pausing, looking back to see where we are, and, where we are going, what we take what we leave behind.
