texture is painting, form is sculpture, and process is architecture

As a first generation immigrant, first generation artist, and Northridge earthquake survivor, my Geo Series speaks of his personal journey with alienation, conflict, natural disaster, and a desire to eradicate a nomadic existence. The Geo Series speaks of, and encompasses, various Northridge earthquake materials recovered from the natural disaster area by me.  The materials are incorporated in my work, to, among other things, convey my desire to end the nomadic life that has colored my existence.  I also state the materials used in the Geo Series consistently pursue architectural plane and dreams of recovering labor power.  My work also symbolizes the “aesthetics of process”, wherein I strive to “acquire plane through the joy of labor”.
