the witnesses

The first objects given to me when I first arrived in the US (and was equipping my studio) were a chair, a stool and a ladder; and, as other elements in my life have come and gone, they remain. As a homage, I made prints that used engraved recycled acetate as a matrix and these simple structures as subject matter.

Later that year, commissioned to create a series of porcelain plates for the Lasar Segall Museum in São Paulo, I used the same quotidian subjects. Sometimes mundane things are the most reliable and comforting of constants.
