An emotional abstraction of faces resembling plants. The more I researched the vital importance of maize to the ancient Mesoamericans, the harder it was to distinguish between the human and the plant world. There was and is so much cultural crossover, it’s difficult to see where one ends and the other begins. “Ancestors,” is an expression of that marriage, the intertwined relationship and dimensional quality of the past that now informs the present.
