I mine dualistic tensions and harmonies between brute and elegant, baroque and minimal, high and low art. The work questions perceptions and investigates other realities from a post-colonial backdrop. So, rather than reflecting something that currently exists, my work reflects content from an alternate reality. My interests emerge from "Rascuachismo" and its associations with low-fi sound utilized in indie music culture and kitsch. I utilize both traditional and non-traditional art materials, with a focus on second hand materials. I’m inspired by metaphysical literature, b-movies, analog machines, imbricated harmonic textures and Texas-Mexico border culture. My work is an attempt to break bread with worlds created by David Lynch, Guillermo Gomez Pena, David Cronenberg and Aldous Huxley, premising a bizarre, post-apocalyptic alien land where border dwellers generate steam p(f)unk. These paintings act as relics, from a twisted sci-fi meets the barrio alternate reality. Product of a larger decolonizing enterprise, that functions from a mentality of what Walter Mignola calls border gnosis; knowledge developed at the borderland, that takes form at the margins of the modern Western world.
