Artist Statement
This work is inspired by the lines that form the layers of the wooden plywood building one or two compact blocks. As part of these blocks I incorporate an empty square or rectangular space, with a black galvanized iron background that is filled with colored rectangles to separate the spaces, and combine with geometric forms of blank cardboard that, according to the viewing angle of the work, will provide us A deep insight into the shapes.
Signed in the back.
hanging hardware is included.
I chose these materials because of their hardness. Right now are those that best meet the purpose of doing my job.
