Isabel y Ximena son mis mayores influencias. My brother has done more, heavier, and better work than I've done my whole life. He is a significant contributor to how I move.
I call my approach purposeful minimalism.
All hail: Betye Saar, John Trudell, the Toynbee Tile artist, Beatrice Warde, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Blek Le Rat, Hilma af Klint...
End of statement; begin plug: If you would like to put something online w/o paying a 3rd party to run data miners and trackers on your site, hit me up. I can probably flow you an itza.link and some space, or help you setup your domain and hosting for less than $100/year.
